KEEP YOUR DOG ON A LEAD - Even well-behaved dogs can get distracted or frightened
TEACH EMERGENCY STOP - Teach the command using a high value treat, such as a mini pork pie!
TEACH YOUR DOG AWARENESS - Teach your dog to always stop and wait at a curb until it's safe to cross. Tell them to 'sit' or 'wait' to instill this command.
BE SEEN - High visibility or light-coloured clothing, especially in the evening and during the winter will help you stand out. Consider a dog jacket with reflective strips so driver's can see you from a distance.
MICROCHIP & COLLAR - Make sure your microchip details are kept up to date. Your dog's collar should always include a tag with a phone number, postcode, and your name.
