A sneak behind the scenes of Dogs Savvy Kids and ISCDT - Dog Trainer Program
I am working on my latest blog post, Violet had a friend sleeping over. #Dogs #relaxation #dogtraining #dogsafety
How do you help your dog decompress?
What creative ways have you created a safe space for your dog?
Share your favorite cozy corner setup or calming techniques!
This is my favorite video. My dog is blind, yet she knew there was a new dog in the house and she wanted so badly to meet her. Yet the foster dog, who we eventually adopted, was not ready. She was too stressed from the long drive up North.

Choosing the Right Breed of Dog for Your Family. Today I answer Emily’s question. #dogbreeds #dogrescue #breedspecificadoption #woof
Did you know that understanding your dog’s body language can significantly improve the relationship with your dog and other people in your home?
Does your dog need space from the kids?
Is your dog uncomfortable with people near his food bowl while he eats?
Does your dog feel uncomfortable with handling?
Does children running and screaming stress your dog?
Dogs communicate largely through body language, and understanding these signals can help you respond better to your dog’s needs.

Pulling items from a dog’s mouth could promote stealing, because it gets your full attention. It can also promote biting, because the dog sees you as someone who steals items of importance to him. Teaching stop drop or give it decreases the chance your dog will become frustrated or angry and bite.

Dog Safety Presentation
“I was attacked by a dog when I was a kid and needed numerous surgeries to fix the damage.”
I hear these stories all the time.
“Your program is so important. Thank you.”
Unfortunately, no one considers the possibility that their dog may bite their child until it happens.
Dog owners anthropomorphize their dogs. In doing so, believe their dog knows better than to bite their child. “My dog is good. He would never.”
Long Island Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Libraries, Daycare Centers and some PTA’s have been proactive by hiring us to educate children on appropriate dog interactions and dog safety.
These children learn how to read dog emotions, what behaviors are unfair and behaviors that foster a strong bond between children and dogs.
Help Long Island parents be proactive rather than reactive by sharing our information.
No one wants their child to suffer a serious dog attack.
Having to remove your dog from the home is a devastating decision.
If you know someone with school-aged children, please share this post. We provide an affordable presentation for their school, daycare or child/pet friendly organization.
Thank you,
Katie & Violet 🐾

Young children should not walk dogs independently. The risk is too great.
PM me and I will send you detailed information on the dangers of allowing young children to walk dogs.

Are you struggling to find a happy balance between your child and your dog? 😢
Growling, snarling and barking is horrifying when it is directed toward your child.😳
Equally frustrating is when your child won't follow your dog safety advice.🤦♀️🤦

✅Teach children how to approach and interact with dogs safely.
✅ Raise awareness about canine body language and behavior.
✅ Instill empathy and compassion for animals.
✅ Teach children safe dog handling skills.
