Since 2003, the Dogs Trust Education Team have been delivering educational programmes to young people and children all across the UK. Our current programme focusses on safe behaviour around dogs.
Children’s behaviour can directly impact their safety around dogs. That’s why our dog safety workshops use behavioural science to help children behave differently to stay safe around all dogs, especially dogs they know and interact with at home - as this is where dog bites are most likely to occur. We know that many children live with and love dogs. That’s why our programme helps them learn the ABCs of being a dog’s best friend – this helps children develop simple skills for life to have happy, safe relationships with dogs! At Dogs Trust we are committed to helping and empowering all the people we reach, children included, to ensure that all dogs can enjoy a happy life.
