Teach your children how to "meet" a strange dog. First, ask permission of the dog's handler: "May I say hello to your dog?" Then slowly hold your hand under its nose for a good sniff. If the dog shows no signs of tension, proceed with gentle petting, preferably not straight down on the head, but keeping your hands where the dog can see them.
