For the parents
The account is yours, not your child's, and only a made-up hero nickname with an emoji avatar ever appears publicly. Never real names, photos or locations.
Who runs the classes?＋
Me, Tāne, professional dog trainer at 100% K9. Classes are small, hands-on and parents are welcome to stay and watch.
Does my child need their own dog?＋
The family dog is ideal, but not essential. Get in touch and we'll sort something out for kids without a dog of their own.
Where and when are the classes?＋
Locations and dates are announced with each intake. Enter the giveaway or check back to hear first. The online academy is available anywhere in New Zealand.
