 | Dogs Trust Childrens Educational Workshop | | |  We were delighted to welcome Lorraine, the Education Officer from Dogs Trust, Scotland on to run children's workshops aimed at promoting responsible dog ownership and helping children to understand the importance of dog welfare and have lots of fun in the process! There were certificates and fun information leaflets for each child who attended.
A loveable black Labrador called Donny participated in the events. Donny loves visiting schools and youth groups everyday, is extremely well trained! He was a fantastic assistant during the workshops!

•Increases the dog’s confidence.
•Improves the bond between dog and owner.
•Dogs frequently become more enthusiastic.
•Owners often report that their dog learns things more quickly.
•As the dog and owner become more skilled at learning together, owners often find that their own enjoyment of training is increased.
Clicker training has been used successfully in a diverse range of activities including treating aggressive behaviour, competing in obedience and training assistance dogs to list but a few.
