Workshop/Assembly Summary:
The Dogs Trust Education Team have been delivering free educational workshops and assemblies across the UK since 2003. Teaching children about safe behaviour around dogs and guiding them on how to build a loving bond with their four-legged friends is an important part of what we do at Dogs Trust. By helping children learn about safe and appropriate behaviour around dogs using up to date research we believe we can improve the welfare of dogs, both in the homes of the children we teach, as well as dogs they may meet when out and about in the community. Our dog-focussed programme aims to encourage attitudes and values in children that in turn lead to behaviours that are conducive with both dog welfare, as well as their own safety.
