The biggest dog event of the year, Crufts, is fast approaching, opening its doors on Thursday, 6th March at the NEC in Birmingham.
While Crufts is known globally for showing beautiful, talented and extremely well-groomed dogs, what makes this yearly event extra special are the hundreds of exhibitors selling all kinds of animal-related products and services.
The exhibitors range from internationally known giants in the dog industry, to small businesses with a passion for their craft and animals.
Amongst those exhibitors, for the fourth year running, there will be SBS Winner Kids Around Dogs® (KAD), which is an association of professionals who specialise in working with families and in schools to help kids and dogs live happily and safely together.
While KAD is based in Dorset, they have approved professionals all over the world, and its founder, dog behaviourist, dog trainer and author Debby Lucken, has come up with a new idea to make Crufts a bit more special for all kids visiting this year!
In fact, in circulation at the event there will be 600 sticker books to be found free of charge at the 14 stall holders involved in the venture:
Kids Around Dogs® – KAD, BeKind Rescue, Rover’s Kit, Wuffable Ltd, Tug-E-Nuff, SBS Winner Dot Dot Pet, Pet Remedy, The Natural Dog Company, Medical Detection Dogs, Xtra Dog®, UK Sniffer Dogs, Feelwells, PACT Dogs Ltd and SBS Winner Twiggy Tags
All kids will have to do is collect a sticker book from one of the businesses listed above, visit the other stands taking part, get a sticker from them and attach it to the corresponding page.
Once the sticker book holders have completed their sticker book, they can go back to the Kids Around Dogs® stand (hall 4, stand 54) for a prize!
If you are visiting Crufts this year, from Thursday 6th to Sunday 9th March, make sure not to miss this great activity for the kids (and kids at heart)!
