This program provides a demonstration of how to approach and pat a dog in the safest way, how to recognise if a dog does not want to be patted and who the child must ask before approaching these animals.
This program is provided by Taylor Wheeler – Dog Training Lifestyle, a certified dog behaviourist and trainer from Australia.
Our mum's sometimes find it hard dealing with a young child and a dog or puppy. We provide you and your bub information on how to keep safe around dogs by understanding dog communication.
Our aim is to reduce the number of dog bites and keep all kids safe by teaching them how to respect our canine friends.
Dogs make wonderful pets, and bring children such enjoyment, support, confidence and happiness.
Having a pet in the family teaches children responsibility and duty of care. Having a pet is proven to bring families closer and improve their communication skills.
It is such a wonderful experience, although parents need to be aware of the risk of injury towards our children and also the stress and injury that can be brought upon our dogs.
The number of dog bites every day around the world is overwhelming and 26% of these bites are kids. But this could be drastically reduced by educating the public and children on how to approach and treat an animal who may be stressed, scared or lacking social skills and human interaction.
We hope to improve and stop the number of dog bites each year. We provide tips and information on how you can prevent being bitten, and how to encourage our children to treat an animal with respect and gentle nature.
Additional Information:Please feel free to bring your bub along, they're more than welcome in our session.We will have our gorgeous pup, who will be there for the duration helping to demonstrate our tips on introduction. Parking is available in Charlestown Square Car Park.
