CHARACTER EDUCATION TAUGHT WITH THE HELP OF RESCUED DOGS

A TYPICAL HEALING SPECIES CLASS

Guess what?  They are all different!  That is what makes our program so unique and memorable.  With dogs in the classroom, there will always be excitement and fun, but the lessons will be delivered by trained instructors who have the ability to teach some very serious concepts.  Each lesson begins with the introduction of the visiting dog and his story.  There will always be a quote on the board to help communicate the lesson for the day.  We encourage students to interact throughout the lesson and they are often seen petting the dog and answering a question at the same time.  Classrooms are transformed during this time into everyone SEEING WITH THEIR HEART which is the first lesson in the series.
