Training the dog and the child to respect each other to prevent bites and accidental injuries

Classes for adults and accompanied children : 6 x 45 minute classes


We prefer to train the adults before introducing the children. These classes are more effective when the adults have learned the dog training skills before teaching the children. 


The outcome: Training the dog and the child to respect each other to prevent bites and accidental injuries.
