Dog Bite Prevention Program
A Rotta Love Plus does Dog Bite Prevention and Awareness programs for kids to teach them how to behave around dogs.
On July 15th, MN Pit Bull Rescue's Director Laura Gray, her dog Tucker (CGC), Harmony from ARLP, Tucker's sister Marri (CGC,TDI), and the facilitator Kelley from ARLP went to Jenny Lind School in Minneapolis and did six programs.
How to introduce yourself to a dog with an owner:
1. Ask the owner if you may pet their dog. Not all dogs want to be petted.
2. Let the dog sniff your hand- that is how dogs shake hands. (Marri and Tucker)
3. Pet the dog on its side or where the owner directs you. (Marri)

If a stray dog approaches you, stand like a tree. If you are not moving, the dog will keep moving and leave you alone. (Tucker)
If a dog knocks you down, curl up like a rock. (Marri)
Never approach a stray dog but if a dog is with its owner, you may approach them.
