Dog encounters in the workplace are unpredictable, and in many cases, bites can be prevented.

The Regina Humane Society’s Field Worker Dog Bite Prevention Program equips your team with practical, real-world strategies to recognize risk early, respond appropriately, and stay safe on the job.

Why This Matters

Workplace safety isn’t just about reacting – it’s about being prepared.

This training gives your team the knowledge, confidence, and tools to reduce risk, prevent incidents, and create safer interactions for both people and animals.

What Participants Will Learn

• Why dogs bite and how to recognize risk factors
• How to safely approach and enter a property
• How to read dog body language and calming signals
• What to do when approached by a dog
• How to respond if a situation escalates
• What to do in the event of a bite

Built for Real-World Application

This training focuses on practical, on-the-job decision making, helping participants:

• Identify warning signs before a situation escalates
• Make quick, informed safety decisions
• Interact with dogs in a way that reduces risk
• Feel more confident in unpredictable situations
