Positive Schools

Jim taught us how to deal/calm yourself down, I can deal with my emotions now.

Can calm myself

I was introduced to Canine Comprehension because Sarah was my puppy trainer.  Young people in my programs are less anxious, more engaged with learning, school and peers through working with Canine Comprehension.  

I would recommend Canine Comprehension to others because they are professional, friendly, effective and amazing.

Less anxious, more engaged.

‘The reading program was amazing. My daughter enjoyed coming every Thursday and continued reading more at home.’ – Marwa

Continued Reading

I felt the mentor was able to accurately pitch and adjust each session. The group dynamics was well supported by giving individual students positive and constructive feedback. There has been a significant change in the capacity of the students to feel comfortable with each other and the dogs and to be better equipped to understand how they communicate to one another.

We felt that we were very fortunate to participate in this program and hope it can be an ongoing partnership.

Significant change

The students have felt comfortable to discuss their anxiety in front of other students.  The students would have liked more weeks it is a fantastic program.
