Dogs and Children: How to Promote Positive Relationships and Mitigate Risk - With Dr. Karen Griffin

Many households have both children and dogs in them. However, this combination can cause challenges for two-legged and four-legged family members! In order to ensure that everybody is as happy and safe as possible, it is imperative that adults and children are well informed of and are practicing appropriate child-dog interactions. It is also important that children learn how to build positive relationships with dogs that are beneficial to both, while also mitigating risks that are associated with dogs and children in the home. This webinar will be packed with useful information (based on science, of course!) for families, shelter/rescue organizations, and anybody who works with or cares for dogs in any capacity!

Topics that will be covered in this webinar include:

🐾 How shelters/rescue organizations can educate and prepare families with children prior to adopting their dog, in order to increase the likelihood of a successful adoption

🐾 How shelters/rescue organizations can support families with children after they take their dog home

🐾 How adults in the family can teach children to interact appropriately with dogs

🐾 Quick tips to remember for safe and positive child-dog interactions

🐾 Tools and resources to use throughout this process for both organizations and families
