'Keeping ourselves safe near dogs' is an educational resource for schools and anyone attempting to teach children about how to see things from a dog's point of view.  It emphasises how alike dogs and humans may be in their emotional responses and how the behaviour of others may result in an escalation towards aggression. 

The resource has been published under the auspices of ASAB (Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour) and is available to download from:
