Animal-Assisted Interventions

Rules:

When dogs are in the building:

1. Never run at the dogs.
2. Never crowd around the dogs; they need space for comfort.
3. Ask permission before petting.
4. Speak gently and quietly; yelling or screaming can frighten the puppies.
5. Gently petting the puppies will be strongly encouraged but must be done one student at a time.
6. Be kind.

A green ribbon will hang from the door notifying everyone when friendly puppies are present in the classrooms.
