On Saturday December 7, 2013 from 10am-12pm we will be holding an educational Humans Only seminar for adults about living safely in the home and community with children & dogs. Location will be at our School of Rock at 24C Main St. in North Reading. You must PRE-REGISTER online at our website to attend. Expecting parents, families with little ones, childcare professionals & anyone wanting to learn more about canine safety, prep & management and body language welcome!

BnR will be holding its first Kids n’ Canines Seminar to discuss dog & child safety & management within the home and community. It will cover many topics ranging from preparing the family dog for a new human addition to the household, life with dogs and little ones in the home, as well as welcoming a dog into a home with little ones.

This is not just open to expecting or new parents, but also to those with dogs that currently live with or may live with or interact with little ones ranging from newborn to 5-7 years old or so (ex. grandparents, aunts & uncles, family friends, caregivers, etc). It will be humans only and geared towards an adult audience.

Being family-friendly trainers, we truly believe in the importance of the information that will be presented in this seminar and look forward to educating our local community on this vital topic and engaging in an active discussion with all present. We believe that proper preparation, professional guidance and management can prevent injury, family tension, as well as the re-homing or worse of the family dog due to miscommunication and lack of training and education. In our experience not enough attention is paid to this topic until it is unfortunately too late. We hope to encourage pro-activity over reactivity!
