Animals in a school can bring about positive change by providing healing interventions for all levels of the brain. This presentation will demonstrate the impact of seven facility dogs working in Lakeside’s schools. Stories and testimonies will be shared regarding the changes seen in students, student-to-staff relationships, peer relationships, staff morale, and the total school environment. The difference between facility dogs, service dogs, and therapy dogs will be discussed along with things to consider when setting up a program in your school.
