Thank you all for your welcome! Yes, I often wish the day was longer!!!!

Antjen: Dog Bite Prevention classes are definitely a need here. Did you use the 'Be a Tree' programme? Did you carry your dig with you?
As for the anti bullying talks I give, we carry out different activities, which vary according to whether the aim is prevention (they are more focused on feelings and reactions awareness), or anti bullying itself, where situations have already arisen. Bull takes part in a series of talks called 'The Other Side of...' Which aims at showing the strengths of each indivivual. I model the activity, carrying Bull, to let children see my other side, that of a Dog Trainer. This session also serves the purpose of showing how those children who are picked on can be 'stars' for a day. They sre usually chosen to guide Bull to do certain tricks, to the amazement of the rest. The look on those children's faces i simply unbelievable. Worth every second! And Bull is my pride and joy!!! Thank you for your interest!
