Education Programs

Laws for Paws Vietnam's education program offers early years and kindergarten education for children. With the help of friendly shelter dogs, children learn about compassion and responsibility while developing important skills. This unique program promotes a love for animals and encourages children to become advocates for animal welfare. The shelter dogs make great companions and help create a positive and nurturing learning environment.

Our team of trained staff and friendly dogs visit schools to deliver engaging presentations teaching young children about responsible pet ownership and animal welfare. We cover dog behaviour, body language, communication, and how to safely approach a dog — as well as the importance of proper nutrition, exercise, and grooming. The program also provides an opportunity for children to interact with our dogs in a safe environment, fostering empathy and compassion.

Our program offers a range of hands-on experiences — from school field trips to community service and Week Without Walls participation. Students learn about animal welfare through activities like dog walking, basic command training, grooming, and socialisation. With the support of our dedicated staff and volunteers, it's an unforgettable educational experience that benefits both students and shelter animals alike.

Students can attend on either Saturdays or Sundays for one hour each morning. With parent permission, students help with dog walking, grooming, shelter maintenance, basic command training, and socialisation. Our dogs become more confident around young people and learn important skills that better their chances of being adopted. A great way for students to give back while gaining hands-on experience with animals.

By starting an animal welfare club at your school, you can educate your peers about the importance of animal welfare and raise funds to support our mission. Clubs can organise fundraising events, host adoption drives, create social media content, or volunteer at the shelter. We provide resources and guidance to help you get started — together we can make a real difference for dogs in need.
