Fun and educational
Teach you kids about dogs
If children can gain experience in dealing with dogs and / or grow up with them, this is a wonderful addition for life! However, children have to learn how to approach dogs safely, how to assess the language of a dog and in incremental steps learn to handle and communicate with a dog independently.
We offer different courses for kids & dogs.
Young Dog Owners
With Lena Mertens (English & German)
Our young dog owners (or potential dog owners) will learn the basics of how to care for their dogs. We will incorporate dog manners and etiquette, leash training, trick training, grooming & hygiene, diet, and what to do in emergency situations. Your child can join with or without their dog (we can provide them with a dog if necessary).
