Just use normal precautions, i.e. don't stroke the cat or shuffle across a nylon carpet in rubber-soled shoes and then pick up the Dragon.  If you're in doubt, touch something grounded before handling it, such as a metal-enclosed electrical appliance, a water tap or a hot-water radiator.  Or, install a grounded wrist strap at your workbench.  But, really, just common sense should be enough.

You could also consider the Dragon Rider 500 as your development platform (disclosure - this is my product).  This physically and electrically protects the Dragon as well as turning it into something more like the venerable Atmel STK 500.
