What To Do This Summer?

If you have a child that loves dogs or horses, think about finding a summer camp that supports their activities with their pet.  When you put kids together with their pet and help them learn more about how to train and care for them, you help establish a life-long bond that connects your child to all animals. There are summer camps for learning about Therapy Dogs, for Dog Training, for Dog Sports. There are Horse Camps for both kids that want to ride horses and children that need therapy that horses can provide. Many shelters offer summer day camps where children learn about pets. Spend some time searching the internet for local camps, then check them out by talking to families who’s children have been to the camp and asking for recommendations from local vets, dog trainers, dog groomers or pet sitters. Visit the camp to make sure that both you and your child are comfortable that it’s a positive, fun and safe place for kids and pets. It will be an experience your child will treasure for life.
