Information for Teachers

A key reason for writing Buddy & Tilda was to promote education & conversations around safer dog & child interactions.

I am keen to develop and share resources to help those working with children use Buddy & Tilda to teach dog safety – I hope these resources and ideas will grow and if you have any resources you would like to share please don’t hesitate to contact me!

Learning Through Stories & Sharing

The Buddy & Friends books were created to help children understand dogs through fun stories and colourful illustrations.

By learning how dogs behave and what they need, children can build safe and positive friendships with their furry companions.

The ethos of the Buddy & Friends series is to support dog safety through open collaboration and if you wish to share your experience of using Buddy & Tilda in a learning enviroment we would be delighted to hear from you.
