Why Therapy Dogs?
Why Therapy Dogs?
Animals are great learning buddies because they:
- help people relax and lower blood pressure
- listen attentively without judging, laughing or criticizing
- allow children to work at their own pace
- are less intimidating than reading to or working with peers
THE RESULTS ARE SIGNIFICANT
THE RESULTS ARE SIGNIFICANT
Kids who work with animals in educational settings make enormous strides in reading and communication skills while, along the way, building self-esteem, confidence, and social skills. And there are bonus benefits—performance in other subjects tends to improve, as does attendance and even personal hygiene.
