The behaviour mentioned does not have the propensity to spread rabies. It is not dangerous either (cannot be totally deemed safe also). So wash your extremities (both hands and feet with soap once you reach home.

No. Rabies does not spread like that normally.
But hand washing after such contact is definitely recommended.
