Ep. 16: Barking Up The Right Tree; How Therapy Dogs Transform Classrooms

If you are a dog lover, a parent, a teacher or all of the above, this episode is for you.  If mindset and nature and fun are empowering and important, then bringing them into our classrooms while kids are still young seems even more important.  Let's start teaching with fun early!

Dr. Barbara Vokatis joins me this week to share how she works with her therapy dog in classrooms with kids of all ages.  As a former teacher myself, I loved our discussion and I loved the idea that a few adults who want to try something new and bring nature into the classroom can make a huge difference.  

This episode is my love letter to teachers; you are out there making a difference every day and we see you.

If you'd love to use your dog as a therapy dog, bring this idea into your school, or simply want to know more, make sure to reach out to Barb!
