A FAMILY APPROACH TO DOG SAFETY AND BEHAVIOUR

 If you have kids and a dog, or you are thinking about it - you're in the right place.

Modern family life is busy.

Dogs are incredible companions.

But somewhere along the way, we've forgotten something important:

A dog is still a dog.

Most "problems" are not from a "bad dog".  They're about misunderstanding, unmet needs or unclear communication.


Traditional dog training often focuses on 'fixing' unwanted behaviours, but we take a different approach. Behaviour is communication.  Behaviour is an expression of need.  As a  Kids & Dogs Specialist, I help families understand:

  • Your dog's individual personality
  • Dog body language and stress signals
  • How to meet your dog's physical and emotional needs 
  • When to use management to keep everyone safe
  • How to teach kids to respect and support their dog

Because safety comes from understanding.


When children understand dogs, and dogs feel understood, everyone feels safer and calmer.

Who is this for:

This is for families who:

✔️ Have children and want to prevent problems before they start

✔️ Feel unsure about their dog's behaviour around kids

✔️ Feel unsure about their kid's behaviour around the dog

✔️ Are welcoming a new puppy or dog into a home with children

✔️ Want their children to feel confident, not fearful, around dogs


If you have kids and a dog - or your considering it - you're in the right place.

Why Families trust Take My Lead

We look at your family as a whole.  Because everyone - your dog, your kids, and you - deserves to have their individual need met.


When dogs feel understood and respected, they can relax and respond better.

When kids learn how to read and respect dogs, they grow in confidence, empathy and responsibility.


It's not just about training dogs - it's about understanding them.
