Dog and Child Sessions

Living with kids and dogs can be truly magical, but it certainly doesn’t come without its challenges.

  • Are you living with kids and dogs and struggling with the juggle of it all?
  • Is your dog struggling with your newly walking toddler?
  • Is your dog growling at your kids? Or even bitten your child?
  • Do you need some help to try and build up the bond and relationship between your kids and dog?
  • Do you need some help turning the chaos into calm?

So many families focus on preparing the dog for bringing the baby home, but really the more challenging work begins when your kids are on the move. That’s when the real juggling act happens and management plans and supervision are critical for safety. But with help from Cooper and Kids, we can plan for this ahead of time or help when you are in the thick of it.

Do us a favour and don’t wait for something to happen; your child and dogs safety is of utmost importance to us. So please come to us early and we can teach you all about how your dogs communicate, the body language to be aware of, how kids mirror our behaviour and how to safely manage the chaos into a calm and safe household.

These services help to create safety and harmony at home when living with kids and dogs. We offer positive, practical, and fun solutions to challenges that often arise in families with dogs during your child’s early and later development years.

 

Different Life Stages We Can Help With:

1.Dog and Toddler

Once your toddler is on the move, the first thing they usually go for is the family dog. Plus once they start walking they can be very wobbly on their feet and unpredictable and this can be frightening for many dogs. That’s when the real juggling act happens and management plans and supervision are critical for safety.

This is the ideal service for families with dogs and toddlers who are soon to be walking or just walking.

 

2.Dog and Child

As our kids get older, they often get even rowdier and more full of energy. And this can be challenging for many dogs. Especially younger dogs or dogs who are starting to age. No matter the age of your children or dog, we can help to manage the child and dog dynamics in your home. We have lots of great games and tools to help rebuild relationships and to give your children and dogs proactive tools they can do together that are fun and safe.

 

During these sessions, we will cover:

1. Understanding your Dog Better
2. Management and Supervision
3. How dogs communicate and what to look out for
4. What you can do when your dog is feeling uncomfortable
5. Proactive options for the common challenges families with dogs and kids.
6. Ways to include your dog and kids together safely
7. General advice and tips around dog and child safety
