Canine Education for Humans
D4D hopes to increase knowledge and tolerance by reducing ignorance.
Giving forward thinking a four paw approach!
Learning happens each and every day in a variety of ways all around us. Many of us are old enough to remember when learning was a 2D, one-way street…we’ve come a long way baby! Now it’s available in D4D!
Parent-Child Moments:
Be there for the AH-HA moment! Soothe a possible fear and prevent a phobia.
Learn critical life skills through our four paw approach.
Parents and caretakers often plant the first seeds on how we approach and interpret our world. Let us facilitate and enrich this experience with our canine crew! If it is a fear of big teeth on four fast legs or settling an argument on being truly ready for a dog—Let D4D lend you a helping paw—or four—or more in any case! We can accommodate most schedules and locations like in your home, at a local park, and of course you are welcome to explore the D4D facility.*
K-12, Vocational, Scouts, or other Learning Centers:
Enrich your curriculum with a four paw approach. Help keep it relevant by bringing modern, animal related topics into the learning center. Reach core competencies in a more dynamic way.
Formal schooling plays an important role in transitioning our children into confident, capable, contributing members of our community. D4D offers a variety of programs to help foster awareness, acceptance, curiosity, responsibility, and so much more. Compliment your lesson plans with a D4D approach! We can design or work collaboratively with you to develop age appropriate learning activities (with or without dogs present) for everything from nutrition, to career day, to public speaking, to diversity education! Plan your next field trip to the D4D facility* or we can come to your classroom.
Learning Everywhere:
Most of us spend better than two-thirds of our lives away from home. Adding a D4D experience can break the monotany of the day and increase retention.
Consider D4D for your next community, business, or organization training event. We do live demonstrations, power point presentations, and can cater to your audience. Reach your corporate goals in a memorable way, Diversity training, safety awareness, -You come to us* or we come to you!
