Had great fun yesterday being filmed for Seven Sharp on the work we do and the difference it is making for our clients. We are not sure what day it’s going to show but it will either be Monday or Tuesday of next week.

We recently decided that with the continued increase in dog related incidents especially with our most vulnerable we have now put all our Dog Safe 4 Kids program on our website FREE to download for parents, teachers and anyone who wants to help in the community.
Piha Preschool recently downloaded the programs and as you can see from the comment below they loved them.

Finally what we have been working towards for a couple of months thanks to [email protected].

All of our Dog Safe 4 Kids programs are now free to download to anyone. Parents, teachers, caregivers have a look and share with your family.

We have also included a FANTASTIC video from PEP UK (Pet Education Partnership) on how your children should interact with their dogs.

The Dog Safe 4 Kids programme has been designed to teach children how to behave around dogs, keeping them as safe as possible. It’s an interactive programme where they learn and have fun at the same time.

I was interviewed by Katie Harris on the increase in dog attacks. There is a little video with some tips on staying safe towards the bottom of the article - I hope it will help keep you safe.

Nearly 3000 attacks were recorded on animals and humans across Auckland last year.
