Talks and Webinars to Children and Scout and Brownie Groups

Why do I hold these sessions?

Because kindness starts from a young age and if we nurture compassion and skills now it will foster kind behaviour throughout life into other contexts too. Children are more receptive to learning at a young age and can change behaviours in their earlier years too.

Dogs are a huge part of our life and our culture and if children are supported in understanding how to approach dogs (or not) this can help to keep them safe and the dog too. Sadly many bites happen with a dog a child already knows.
