With the festive period causing more excitement in both dogs and children, the talks are designed to help kids understand canine body language so they can interact respectfully and safely with dogs.

Lindsay will be asking for donations from the schools, parents and carers, which will go to Animal Refuge Furness and Kenzie's K9's, an animal search and rescue service based in Whitehaven.
Schools interested in hosting the sessions are encouraged to contact Lindsay at 07708 928747 or lindsayhampshire@landingonyourpaws.co.uk.
