PupStars for kids & their dogs

Teach your dog tricks, agility, scent detection and more

WHAT: Very small group classes for kids to build relationship and learn to train their own family dog. Dogs of ANY age (fully vaccinated), kids 8 years and over.

WHERE: Katikati or Omokoroa

HOW MUCH:

5 weekly classes $240

Half-day workshops during school holidays $75 per dog for one 2-hour session

Kids learn safe, fun ways to interact with their dog

There are no expectations or requirements for the dog's current level of training - your dog simply needs to be safe around kids and other dogs. Lots of coach assistance given to each team, as we are in a small group. If you have questions, please reach out to discuss.

Dogs learn foundation skills for a happy and cooperative dog, with a focus on life skills, fun tricks and activities for kids and dogs to be safe and have fun together.

Kids, you will learn how to "speak dog" and have fun in ways both you AND your dog will enjoy. How to manage your dog safely and confidently, how to earn your dog's trust and respect, how to train fun and useful tricks, and much more.

Parents, you will learn how to help your child and dog be safe and happy. How to develop appropriate rules for your household, and set your dog and your family up for success. How to support and encourage your child as they build confidence, empathy, and practical skills through dog training.

HOW IT WORKS:

You will need one child per dog (i.e. we need one consistent handler throughout, though I'm willing to be flexible if you have two children that you feel can share the role) and an adult to support each child/dog team. Each session we build on the last with the ultimate goal of the child "taking the lead" (literally & figuratively) by the end. This is a fun bonding and learning activity for the team of adult, child and dog.

Please note:

These are small group classes so very limited spaces available. Suitable for sociable, fully vaccinated dogs of all ages and sizes.
