Inspiring Bright Futures Together

Dog Mentor

The primary goal of therapeutic intervention in schools is to create a nurturing and inclusive environment that fosters emotional resilience, enhances academic success, and equips students with the tools to manage stress, anxiety, and other challenges effectively.

The programme suits all needs for dogs, staff, children and parents. It’s essential for dogs to equally benefit from the relationship and actively enjoy their time spent with children and adults. With the help of The Dog Mentor Programme, a school dog can nurture a comfortable and happy dynamic, enabling dogs to create a calming, positive influence on children. 

A specially-trained school dog can play a pivotal role as a therapeutic intervention within educational settings.

 

Pippin, our Castlefort dog, joined us in September 2024. She is a Cavapoochon and an amazing addition to our school. In the mornings, she greets the children and loves to visit classrooms. She enjoys sitting with the children as they read to her and plays an important role in supporting their emotional well-being. Everyone loves Pippin!
