As stories of serious dog attacks continued to make headlines across Canada this summer, the CFHS renewed its commitment to reduce the number of dog bites in this country through a partnership with Doggone Crazy!
Doggone Crazy! is a board game designed to help children avoid dangerous dog bites, and to better understand canine behaviour. The game features full-colour photographs to teach kids about canine body language and to help them identify safe and dangerous situations involving dogs. The interactive game also includes multiple choice and true or false questions, plus
Simon Says activities.The game requires two to six players, and targets children ages four to 12 years old although older kids and adults have also been enjoying the game. At least one player must have third grade reading skills to play.
Humane educators and teachers across Canada are already recognizing Doggone Crazy! as a valuable addition to their humane education programs, and dozens of shelters have already ordered the game.
A game for familiesDoggone Crazy! is also becoming a popular family game. Parents are beginning to understand the risks of bites, and are looking for ways to teach their kids to be safe around strange dogs and the family pet. Not only does Doggone Crazy! provide a tool to teach children: it also offers parents some great tips and information to help keep their children out of harm’s way.
Doggone Crazy! is available through the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies. An order form can also be found on the back page of this newsletter. A discounted rate is available for humane societies.
