Course outline:
Dogs have formed an important part of boarding houses for as long as they have existed. The benefits of having animals working with children has been increasingly understood and researched in recent years. However, the media portrayal of dogs is not always positive and there are health and safety concerns to be addressed if dogs are to be in and around schools. This seminar explores the research behind having dogs in schools, looks at some of the potential pitfalls, presents some ideas for how dogs can be positive integrated into the boarding environment and will give space to explore some case studies of having dogs in boarding houses.

James Plumer – CEO Canine Assisted Learning Ltd
My wife and I founded the business 10 yrs ago. We trained our Labrador to be a therapy dog and piloted a programme in a school we both worked at. The school was a residential school as well as day pupils with a range of special education and behavioural needs.
The outcome was sensational and the young people we worked with were seen to have huge benefits in their wellbeing and educational needs.
This led to us delivering the programme in various new schools and continuing to refine and develop animal assisted therapy specifically around dogs in schools, to become the leading provider of Canine Assisted Therapy in the Uk.
To date we have worked with over 300 schools across the country, and currently service approximately 200 hours a week of Canine Assisted Interventions across the entire spectrum of educational establishments.
