Purpose & Structure

Charitable Purpose

BARK NZ empowers children through animal-assisted education to feel confident and be safe around dogs. We give children hands-on experience and tools to help prevent unnecessary dog-related injuries. Using various resources such as stories, role playing, games, reviews and discussions, we provide interactive lesson plans to promote understanding, compassion and respect. Our aim is to reduce the national dog bite statistics in children 12 years and under. We achieve this by providing established programmes to New Zealand’s children at pre-schools, schools and other learning and community facilities. BARK NZ have designed and implemented well-structured lesson plans to integrate smoothly with the national school curriculum, Te Whāriki early childhood curriculum and with individual class, school or organisational processes.
