Pup it up!
Watch your skills step up to the next level when social and emotional lessons are taught with a playful pup.
Partnering with a dog will enhance the ability to generalize lessons, to empathize with another being, and to foster flexible thinking & creativity.
Our mission at Pup Up Social Learning is to develop a child's social, emotional, and sensory regulation skills through playful 30-minute sessions with certified therapy dogs.
