Canine Assisted Learning

🐾 Training Today, Changing Lives Tomorrow!

Our school dogs don’t just bring joy — they undergo careful training and assessments to ensure they can support students safely and effectively. 🐶✨

Every session, every command, and every paw step is part of a journey to help children and young people build confidence, reduce stress, and thrive at school.

We’re proud of our hardworking dogs, dedicated trainers, and the positive impact they bring to classrooms across the UK. 💛

🐾 School Dog of the Month – Martin! 🎉

This month, we’re celebrating Martin, a much-loved Cockapoo from St Martins School in Derby! 💛

Martin has been brightening the school since 2021 and lately has been proudly demonstrating his buzzer skills, helping children take turns and develop their communication abilities.

His handlers work hard to ensure that Martin’s time at school is meaningful, productive, and balanced, and he adapts brilliantly to the variety of sights, sounds, and equipment — managing what can be a challenging environment for a dog with grace and confidence. 🐶✨

Keep up the amazing work, Martin — you truly are a superstar! 🌟

🎃🐾 Happy Half Term & Halloween from all of us at Canine-Assisted Learning! 🐾🎃

As schools pause for a well-deserved break, our amazing dogs are taking some time out too — swapping their school sessions for cosy naps, countryside walks, and (of course) a few treats! 🍂🐕

Half term is the perfect opportunity to slow down, reset, and spend some calm, quality time together — something our dogs remind us to do every day. 💛

We’d like to wish all our schools, pupils, families, and fellow practitioners a spook-tacular and restful week ahead. Thank you for all the wonderful work you do in helping us support wellbeing and connection through our dogs. 🧡
