About Delta Dog Safe Tas
Delta Dog Safe is a child-health initiative promoting safe behaviour around dogs. Trained volunteer educators deliver targeted community education in schools and child-care centres across Tasmania, providing practical ways young children and their families can reduce the incidence of dog bites.
Primary objectives:
• to promote the health and safety of young children throughout Tasmania
• a reduction in the incidence of dog bites
• to reduce the incidence of personal trauma as a result of dog bite injury
• to increase children’s understanding of dogs’ needs and behaviours
• a reduction in the cost to the community for treatment of dog bite injuries
