Pet Sibling Program

This is our signature program for children. It is a day-long workshop where participants get a first hand experience of pet ownership. Through the day, the children are taught about all the basic responsibilities that come with owning a pet - safe interactions, exercising, grooming, bathing, feeding, understanding your pets body language signals along with games and lots of fun activities. This program is very effective when you are looking at getting a new pup home. It gives the child a clear understanding of responsibilities of having a pet dog at home.

The Dog School
Age group: 12 to 20 years
This is a 20 hour program highly customizable over 5 hours per week. The objective of this program is to equip the participants with a little more understanding of dogs as a species- understanding behaviors, personalities, training, dog body language etc.
We also introduce career avenues, working dogs and also a certain insight into Animal Assisted Activities (AAA) through the course of the program. So if you are interested in knowing a bit more, or looking at taking up pet care as a career option, we highly recommend this course.
Through a series of hand-on activities and good quality of theoretical input, our aim is to create awareness, develop compassion and educate you about safe interaction with dogs.
