Participants will engage in cooperative activities with Giving Retriever dogs and peers, allowing them to improve social-emotional skills including perspective-taking and communication confidence. We’re excited to introduce a new feature this session: dinner before our dog activities! This communal meal is a perfect opportunity to bond, setting the stage for a productive and enjoyable session as a team.

Key Features:

• Collaborative Learning: Work together with dogs and peers to develop problem-solving skills and teamwork.
• Individual Challenges: Take on training challenges independently, using trial and error to learn and grow.
• Age and Ability-Based Groups: Classes are organized by age, participation goals, and individual abilities to ensure a supportive and effective learning environment.
• Shared dinner: We will order pizza each week for participants to share a meal together prior to working with the dogs. The dinner portion of the program will take place in our atrium.
• Participants will have the opportunity to observe and learn from each other, gaining insights and developing new skills in a fun, interactive setting.
