Dogs and kids. Big topic. Bigger responsibility.

A lot of people focus on teaching the dog how to be “good” with children, and yes, that matters. What’s MORE important? Teaching kids how to be respectful of dogs.

Because you can train a dog all day long.
That does not mean they’ll make perfect choices when they’re overwhelmed, uncomfortable, or pushed too far.

Helping children learn how to read, respect, and interact with dogs safely is one of the most important things you can do. Not just for your dog at home, but for every dog they’ll meet in the world.

Maizie has been incredible to watch in this. She follows instructions, carries them out, and somehow manages to teach other people too.

Bellow absolutely adores her.

What makes it even sweeter is that Maizie has spent much of her five years working through a fear of dogs, and now she’s become the best little “mini trainer” around.

If you’ve seen our Maizie the Mini Trainer series, you already know she’s basically 42 years old in spirit and wildly overqualified for kindergarten.
