How to Become a Presenter
To be a presenter for the International Dog Bite Prevention Challenge all you need is a Be a Tree Teacher Kit. This is a self-guiding kit with everything you need to offer an entertaining and interactive presentation to children. The Be a Tree program focuses on positive messages and teaches kids how to read dog body and language and have empathy for the dog. It teaches them to stand still like a tree if a strange dog approaches or any dog is bothering them or becoming too frisky.
