Dogs and kids: go together like peanut butter and jelly, right?
Well, maybe!
While kids and dogs make the best of friends (and the cutest of photo ops), there’s actually a lot of behaviors that are totally natural and normal for both species that, at best, can be uncomfortable and annoying for the other. At their worst, they can be scary or dangerous.
Are you expecting a baby and not sure how to prepare your dog for the big changes ahead?
Or did a sweet puppy come home, turn into a teenager, and start terrorizing the preschooler?
Are your dogs and kids unsure of one another, or just looking for ways to connect and have that photo-finish friendship?
Like Magic is thrilled to help! There’s so much out there about what kids and dogs shouldn’t be doing together - and safety is paramount. But there’s also a lot we can teach them to do together too, and build that bond that lasts a lifetime.

Looking for Group: Group Classes
Group classes and events are held throughout the year in a variety of mediums - and kids are welcome in all of them! Depending on age, they likely need an adult there with them to supervise, but if all you do is hold the leash, I’m happy to coach whoever wants to be the primary handler!
In the Winter, you’ll find me on your computer screen in the comfort of your own home, where Winter Webinars are offered on a variety of subjects to kickstart your dog’s training and keep you and your best friend active during the colder weather.
In Spring, classes will be starting up in partnership with various facilities in the area, as well as offered independently: for basic manners, puppy development, adolescent impulse control, and dog reactivity.
You’ll also find drop-in enrichment games and classes listed below to build your dog’s confidence, burn their energy, and learn new games to play, offered throughout the year.
