KAD approved professional

I am thrilled to announce that I have past my assessment to become a member of the association KAD (Kids around dogs). I am now an approved and recognised KAD dog trainer and I will appear on their website when searching for a trainer in this area.

KAD trainers work with families and schools to help kids and dogs to live happily and safely alongside each other.

Dogs are all around us: we see them at the park, at the beach, on the streets. We visit family, friends and neighbours who own dogs. It is vital to raise our children to live safely and happily in a world with dogs. Equally it’s important to know how to train dogs positively to live with children.

Kids Around Dogs is an association of qualified and experienced positive professionals within the canine and/or child care industry. We are assessed and trained to assist with family dogs, to use the protocol to overcome the fear of dogs in kids and to work with dogs in schools.

KAD approved professionals are DBS checked and have a wonderful way of working with children of all ages.

My services include:

• Working with children who are scared of their family pet dog.

• I work with families when a child and a dog are struggling to interact safely together.

• I teach families how to understand more about their dogs’ body language.

• Working with children who have a genuine fear of dogs when out and about.

I can give talks to teachers and children about safe interaction between a child and a dog.
