Their flagship program, Canines Teaching Compassion (CTC), unites at-risk youth with homeless dogs in a purposeful bond of learning and healing. They are located on California’s Central Coast.

About the Book
‘Implementing Therapy Dog Teams’ is a detailed guide designed to help schools introduce therapy dogs effectively.
Mathew’s work invites educators to see therapy dogs as valuable allies in the educational process, capable of making a profound difference in students’ lives. “It is more than just theory – it is actionable advice backed by sound research and successful real-life case studies. Therapy dogs have proven beneficial in creatively improving students’ mental health, academic performance, peer relationships, and social skills. The presence of therapy dogs in schools has been linked to enhanced mood, confidence, self-esteem, and overall life satisfaction among students. Additionally, these partnership teams have been shown to improve children’s self-regulation behavior, making the classroom environment more conducive to learning. This heightened interest in learning has also resulted in reduced absenteeism as well as a greater sense of belonging within the school community.”
