Warning – graphic video Watch this video and see if you can spot the warning sign - (it happens at about 2 sec into the video). You will likely need to watch it twice. May not be suitable for children. Again this shows us how fast a dog can move. Even with the handler right there he couldn’t stop it. The slow motion shows just how slow the human reaction is. Neither the handler nor the reporter saw the warning sign.
There is no sound in this video.

This program, for school age children,YMCA, and Scouts, is a short presentation with large photos and lots of activities to teach children to understand the signs dogs send with their body language.
- Photographs 11”x17” of dogs showing various body language signals.
- “Tools” photos – These are tools for kids to put in their toolbox (in their head) – to help keep them safe.
- A “Simon Says” game
- A snarly dog photo – 11″x17″ – this is held up by a helper at random and everyone must stand up and “be a tree”
Children learn to be doggie detectives, looking for the clues that dogs give with body language to show how they are feeling.
The central message of this program is “Be THE Tree”. That is, stand still if a strange dog approaches or any dog is threatening or overly frisky.
My experience as a classroom teacher of 35 years taught me that children learn by doing, practicing and playing. The program “Be a Tree” is a great teaching tool. Lots of role playing and repetition until the children have a patterned response to an aggressive dog. Fast paced and fun.
