Dog's Trust have a 'Be Dog Smart' programme which focusses on Safe Behaviour Around Dogs, and every year they work with hundreds of schools, offering free workshops and assemblies.

They aim to harness safe, loving relationships between children and dogs, by encouraging them to adopt safe and kind behaviours towards their canine friends. The workshops are engaging and interactive, designed to compliment areas of the curriculum and generally support classroom learning.

The workshops are run by trained and experienced Education and Community Officers who aim to provide options for schools to best suit their environments, timetables, and capacity to facilitate external guests.

For more information and to book, contact your local Education and Community Officer via learnwithdogstrust.org.uk or contact sarah.saunders@dogstrust.org.uk.

There are also a range of downloadable resources for early years teachers - https://www.learnwithdogstrust.org.uk/resources/#age-7-11.
