The Bark Busters Stand Rite No Bite® Dog Safety Programme

One of the most effective systems for preventing dog bites and dog attacks

Developed specifically for service and delivery organisations by Bark Busters, one of the world's largest dog training companies, this unique bite prevention training programme is helping both the public and employers keep their people safe, and reduce the costs associated with dog-related work injuries.

Preventing dog attacks and dog-related injuries

The Bark Busters Stand Rite No Bite® Dog Safety Programme offers an effective mix of video tutorial on canine communication and the canine psyche, bite prevention and dog safety techniques, followed by assessments after each section of course.

The online training course helps employees who may encounter dogs as part of their daily work routines to:

  • Understand how to safely enter an area where dogs are present
  • Recognise the signs of aggression in dogs
  • Recognise and apply canine communication techniques
  • Learn techniques to avoid dog attacks or bites
  • Deal appropriately with dog owners
  • Mitigate or prevent injury in the event of a dog attack

The online training programme accomplishes these goals through step-by-step video tutorial including real life cases. Participants also receive a course certificate after successful completion.

Keeping your employees safe makes good business sense

Dog bites are a serious problem. There were an estimated 10,700 hospital incidents of people being bitten or struck by a dog in England in 2023/2024. Incidents such as these cost the NHS an estimated £71 million.

In 2023, the Communication Workers Union reported that an estimated 3,000 postal workers are bitten or attacked by dogs each year, and in the past 5 years approximately 1,000 postal workers have had their fingers bitten off or amputated due to dog bites.

 

 

Incorporating sound principles and simple strategies

Based on the same sound principles that have made Bark Busters one of the world's largest dog training companies, the Bark Busters Stand Rite No Bite® Dog Safety Programme teaches simple, effective strategies for avoiding dog attacks.

The Bark Busters natural dog training techniques leverage the same communications methods, body language and voice control, that dogs follow as part of their instinctual mentality. Without the use of complicated, aggressive or aversive techniques and equipment, our employee safety programme teaches sustainable ways to discourage dogs from developing fearful or aggressive responses to people.

The Bark Busters Stand Rite No Bite® Dog Safety Programme differs from other methods that rely solely on ineffective techniques and even dangerous equipment. The Bark Busters online dog bite prevention programme is engaging and offers the ability to learn the Stand Rite No Bite® techniques from your computer or mobile device, without the need to take time out from your working day.

 

 

Delivering proven results

Based on over 24 years of practical field observations and experience, the Bark Busters Stand Rite No Bite® Dog Safety Programme has delivered proven results in employee safety for service, delivery companies, and government agencies. We have now made it even easier to access the dog safety programme by making it available through an online training course. The course takes approximately 1 hour to complete with a multiple-choice assessment after each section of the course.

 

 

Country Energy saves an estimated $1.4 million AUD

Country Energy (Australia) initially undertook the Bark Busters Dog Safety Program as a trial programme in one of its regions. After implementing the programme, this region experienced only one reported dog attack in the subsequent three-year trial programme, compared to 68 attacks during the same time in Country Energy’s other operating regions.

At the average cost of $21,200 AUD (cited by the Insurance Information Institute), this translates to a savings of over $1.4 million AUD, over the three-year period.
