For the parents
Who runs the classes?＋
Me — Tāne, professional dog trainer at 100% K9, based in the Rodney area. 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.
How does the online academy keep my child safe?＋
The login is your account, not your child's. On the leaderboard only a made-up hero nickname and an emoji avatar are ever shown — never real names, photos or locations.
Where and when are the classes?＋
In the Rodney and Mangawhai area — the exact location is provided with the class details, and dates are announced soon. Enter the giveaway or check back to hear first.
