Teach your 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.
Kids & Dogs Camps
Kids & Dogs Holiday Camps
with Lena Mertens and Team
The children will learn about human-dog-communication, how to behave when they meet a dog and how to take basic care of a dog (or a neighbour's dog). We learn through hands on activities and tasks and through competitions and games. At the end of the course the kids will be tested on their new found skills and will get a diploma to correlate with their skill (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced).

Kids & Dogs Class 1st Trimester (10 weeks)
With Lena Mertens and Team
Is your child between 7 and 14 years old, and are you eager for him/her to learn the basics of caring for the family dog and having fun in a safe manner? In this course, your child will discover how to use positive reinforcement techniques when handling the dog and teaching your dog new skills, play interactive games, and keeping his/her best friend happy and engaged. We’ll cover everything from leash handling and everyday obedience to nose work and agility exercises, basics of nutrition and coat care —ensuring a well-rounded experience for both the child and the dog throughout the trimester or school year.
To join, your dog should be friendly with other dogs and people, and your child should be able to hold the leash securely (a parent may assist here if necessary!). If we haven’t met your dog yet, we’ll arrange for a quick introductory session before the course begins.
Sign up today and start your child’s dog training adventure!
