What Parents Are Saying
"My daughter used the 'Be a Tree' technique when a loose dog ran up to her at the park. She stayed calm and the dog lost interest. I'm so grateful she knew what to do."
"After taking Level 1, my son stopped running up to strange dogs. He now knows to ask permission and let the dog sniff his hand first. Such an important skill!"
"We have a new baby and a family dog. This program helped my 6-year-old understand why we have new rules about giving the dog space. It's made our home so much safer."
