The Human-Animal Connection is an educational training program designed to bring out the best in people and animals through a structured method of therapeutic interaction based on mutual respect, gentleness, and empathy with the goal of increasing resilience, well-being and helping to overcome compassion fatigue for Veterans, health care providers, and first responders.

 

 

In Our Canines Teach Compassion classroom, we bring therapy dogs to school to lower stress, increase resilience and reduce isolation.  We also TEACH the kids to train, which helps them understand that all dogs learn differently, which gives them compassion for their own learning style.
