Burnham-On-Sea dog training instructor and behaviourist Carrie-Anne New has become an Approved Trainer with the highly respected charity, Dogs Helping Kids, which is bringing dogs into schools.
Carrie-Anne, who runs Burnham-based Tricky Paws Puppy & Dog Training, is working with the charity in the training and assessing of dogs as both educational and therapeutic aids purely to work in school and college environments.
Endorsed by several prestigious organisations and professionals within the dog world, Dogs Helping Kids says it has the very highest standards of training and welfare in the country. Its school dogs can have a “phenomenal” impact by changing young lives positively forever.
Carrie-Anne told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “I am absolutely thrilled to be accepted into this incredible charity. It is Dogs Helping Kids’ vision to have a Dogs Helping Kids school dog in every school and college across the country and I am excited to be a part of this. In fact, my first DHK puppy has just graduated from my most recent Happy Puppy course!”
“I am truly passionate about helping children and the positive effect dogs can have on people is no secret. Dogs Helping Kids school dogs really are of the highest quality and trained to the highest standard – the cream of the crop. And the best bit? The welfare of each Dogs Helping Kids school dog is at the very top of Dogs Helping Kids’ priority list, resulting in dogs who love going to work.”
Dogs Helping Kids uses highly trained dogs to help teach children non-violence, empathy, respect, kindness, love, responsibility, friendship and trust.
Tracey Berridge, Founder and CEO of Dogs Helping Kids, said: “Dogs Helping Kids is really pleased to announce that Dog Trainer Carrie-Anne New of Tricky Paws Puppy and Dog Training has recently passed her DHK Approved Trainers Assessment and has joined the ranks of our DHK Approved Trainers.”
