We live in a violent world and scientific research has shown that if violence is not halted, it can span generations with cumulative consequences. Children who are exposed to violence are at risk of perpetuating the cycle which paints a bleak picture of the future.
Funda Nenja aims to teach children an alternative way to deal with life through the medium of dog training classes using force free methods and positive reinforcement. Kindness, patience and empathy are nurtured when a child learns how to communicate with another species using no coercion and when the child experiences the unconditional love of a dog.
