Dog Bite Prevention
PACKS Program
Our PACKS Program (Prevent Attacks with Care, Kindness and Safety) is an educational program designed to teach and reinforce responsible pet ownership with an emphasis on compassion toward animals. Our pet educators emphasize responsible pet ownership - including basic pet care and unique lessons in animal humanity. We strive to teach people of all ages basic information about the many ways animals (and people) communicate - and we use the unique human-to-animal bond to teach pet responsibility and respect.
Animal Communication & Bite Prevention
This program is a specialized effort to help teach children how to safely approach a dog. Our goal is to reduce the number of dog-bite injuries and emotional scars affecting children. We hope our effort will help lower medical costs through fewer insurance claims associated with dog bites, as well as decrease the number of dogs euthanized for biting a child who may have unknowingly provoked the dog.
PACKS in Schools
Our PACKS program is offered as an interactive presentation for mainstream students, grades K-12, and special needs children and adults. Each program is tailored to meet the audience age level and interest, and can be customized to compliment specific subjects. These presentations are available for groups of any kind, including schools, clubs, home-schooled groups and community organizations.
