Zoodle is a happy dog; she loves her family and her ball. But when it’s time to go for a walk, Zoodle doesn’t like it at all! She is afraid of many things, some that wouldn’t scare you or me. She feels so afraid that she shows her teeth, in the hope of making the scary thing leave. She knows people don’t understand her when she speaks, because she doesn’t use words like you and me. How can we help her feel safe? Let’s learn about her fears and how she speaks, to make Zoodle and dogs like her feel safer in the street.
