Take a journey of discovery into how best practices for helping at-risk children align with best practices for dog handling. We’ll dig into parallels between raising children and dogs, exploring the why and how of approaches that benefit all the little ones in our care. We’ll identify core needs shared by kids and dogs, and foundational strategies that can be used to meet those needs for dogs—often in unexpectedly simple ways. We’ll consider parenting styles, and how they influence outcomes, and why love alone isn’t always enough.
