Summer Camp Registration is OPEN: Why You Should Sign Up
If you've ever trained with me personally at Redfern, you know I'm plain-spoken. It's for the benefit of both you and your dog. I want you both to get the most you can out of every class, every single time. It's why you came.
If you have a child, and you're wondering what they might enjoy camp-wise this summer, I recommend our Kidz 'n K9s Day Camp. Of course, it's my camp, and yes, I want to see it filled, but I have other motives as well. Before I made the switch to full-time dog training, I was a teacher. Truth be told, the basics are often the same. Be kind, be consistent, get your students excited about learning something new, and lead by example. Both dogs and children benefit from this approach.
Back to camp. Our kids' camp offers students a week-long introduction to hands-on dog training. They learn new things. They are responsible for their dog. They get a real sense of accomplishment when they see what it means to work as a team with their dog. They feel and recognize empathy for their canine partner. These are all essential people-skills that last long after their week with us.
I know much of our world is experienced via screens: television, computers and phones. And everyone loves a funny animal video. Camp gives kids the opportunity to experience the joy of working with a dog, another being, one-on-one. It's heart-warming to see the bond between dog and child. And you'll be amazed at the show your children put on at the end of the week. It's the best summer memory, with a lifelong positive impact.
And that's why your child needs to come to camp. Read all about Kids 'n K9s Day Camp and register here. Our camp runs from Monday, July 29th - Friday, August 2nd. Spots are limited, so sign up soon.
