  • Kids Around Dogs Protocol To Overcome The Fear Of Dogs In Children

  • Kids Around Dogs Protocol To Overcome The Fear Of Dogs in Adults

  • Kids Around Dogs School Talks

    The KAD School Talks Program is absolutely unique! The KAD School Talks Program teaches children how to live in a world with dogs.

    It is very important to us that children learn to respect dogs and not to be scared of them, so it isn't so much about safety around dogs, but to respect dogs instead.

    Our talks aim to prevent dog-related injuries and listening to our dogs, advocating for them, is key to do so.

    In fact, we believe that we can't stop a dog bite, but we can prevent it.
