Hi my name is Audrey and I deliver workshops, both in person or online (via zoom) to Dublin and Eastern counties. I am a qualified secondary teacher and am I love promoting dog welfare in primary and secondary schools. By supporting and educating the next generation of dog owners we will hopefully help them to understand the responsibilities of owning their own dog, and hopefully over time decrease the amount of abandoned and stray dogs. I cover Dublin and parts of Kildare, Meath　and Louth. The workshops are FREE to schools and are fun, interactive and child centered, some of our topics include Dog’s Needs, Cost of a Dog and Safety around Dogs. If you are passionate about animal welfare and would like to promote the Dogs Trust message in your school then why not get in touch and book your free workshop. I would love to hear from you.

Our Education and Community Officer for Clare and South Connacht is Aoife, however for the next few months Aoife will be working on other projects for Dogs Trust, so this part of Ireland will be temporarily without an officer. Don't worry however, as we have gone online, and have fantastic virtual workshops on offer all over the country. If you are interested in one of our online workshops email [email protected]

We do not currently have an education officer designated in the South East. Don't worry however, as we have gone online, and have fantastic virtual workshops on offer all over the country. If you are interested in one of our online workshops email [email protected]

Hi, my name is Paul and I offer online workshops via zoom, or physical workshops to schools (both primary and secondary) in the Midlands. Before joining the Education team I previously worked in Dogs Trust as a Canine Carer, and although I miss seeing the dogs in the centre every day, I love that I get to travel the Midlands (And occasionally my lovely lurcher, Magic comes with me). We offer free educational workshops to schools and community groups in Westmeath, Longford, Offaly, Cavan and Laois, as well as parts of Kildare, Meath, Monaghan and Leitrim with the aim of passing on the message of Responsible Dog Ownership. It is Dogs Trust's hope that these workshops will reduce the amount of strays, and improve dog welfare as a whole in Ireland. If you would like a visit get in touch today!

Hello, I'm Fiona and I am the Dogs Trust Education and Community Manager. Our team are incredibly busy running workshops, campaigns, online resources and events, and it is my job to make sure everything runs smoothly. Luckily enough, Ollie, my lovely boxer usually curls up beside my desk to keep me company. The Education team have been running workshops since 2005, spreading our message of safety around dogs, while also touching on the importance of responsible dog ownership. In this time we’ve educated thousands of children and adults, but we’re only getting started. We won’t stop until the entire country is educated in all things dog. What an adventure! If you would like to book a workshop, get in touch with your local Education and Community Officer Today!
