Canine Assisted Therapy

Often struggling teens are withdrawn and closed to other human beings, but on the whole they are not closed to animals. Through their interdependent relationship with the therapy dogs in Beit Daniella’s kennel and through direct responsibility for their care, Beit Daniella’s students learn unconditional love and acceptance, trust, empathy, responsibility, hygiene and healthy daily routine. Dogs serve as a powerful projection tool and provide access to an inner world which is for the most part, locked to themselves and to others.
