Positive PAWSibilities utilizes dogs to strengthen and promote positive communication and social skills for youth and families. By interacting with using animals positive and encouraging language and actions participants learn and practice important life skills that will effect every aspect of their lives. Through thoughtful discussion, the skills used with the animals are then transferred to interactions with people. Positive PAWSibilities creates individualized programs for youth and families based on personal goals. Participants can chose to work with their own family animal or Marley, my trained therapy dog. Benefits of the program include increased empathy development, positive communication skills, increased family togetherness, modified disruptive behavior, interpersonal awareness, and much more.
