Individual - Together, an animal specialist, licensed therapist and parents/guardian choose the animal and form of interaction which best suits each child's needs.

Family - Animal activities help families learn to deal more effectively with the child, by establishing reasonable boundaries, earning respect and improving communication.

Group - Group opportunities offer children who have similar challenges unique ways to practice communication skills, relationship skills, social skills and behaviors, through interaction with animals

Pawwsitive Boundaries - We use our animals to help teach children the ABC's of proper boundries: A (approach) B (behavior) C (consideration). Knowing the ABC's helps a child learn the nature of boundaries for themselves and others.

How is this different from other animal therapy programs?
We focus 100% on providing emotional and mental health treatment. Our animal specialists assist licensed therapists to ensure that the children develop a healthy relationship with animals as well as the tools and strategies needed to make positive life choices. Having and animal present in a therapeutic setting has been shown to lower the blood pressure and anxiety levels in most children.
