Canine Assisted Learning

 

Kato is Marlborough Schools CAL dog. He qualified in July 2023 through the Canine Assisted Learning programme. CAL provides Animal Assisted Therapy, interventions and activities supporting educational, behavioural and emotional development in young people. Kato has 4 trained handlers that work with him.

Kato receives termly visits from Lizzie at CAL to check on his progress.

September 2024 CAL visit: It certainly is  very pleasing to read  and it is very evident that everyone including Kato himself , sees Kato as part of the school team! It is wonderful reading all about the different places Kato visits at the legacy site and also the commands he uses on the switch at the MPA site. I was very moved to read all about V and the walking therapy which Kato is supporting him with, truly amazing work being done there! Kato does have a really good balance of work and rest and you all have done such a brilliant job of providing him enrichment and variety, he clearly loves his job!
