We had a blast on our autumn team day, enjoying some of our top activities that support people & dogs learning together💛🍂
A highlight was “Dogzilla’s Revenge”. This fab team game involves working together, creative thinking, problem solving, cooperating & thinking like a dog!

[Paws for Progress @PawsforProgress]

We've been having such lovely sessions in our learning programme at @KibbleCharity 💙 The #youngpeople were so engaged & enthusiastic, telling us how they wish they could do this 'all day everyday!'🐾
Pictured are Phoenix & Vito, happily snoozing together after a fun session🤩

Here's an insight into what our #Ambassadogs get up to off-duty!

Maddie, Gryffin & Gracie LOVE using their noses! Here they are blowing off some steam & enjoying Truffle Hunting💙

Check out this fab poster created by the young person who has been training Hugo! This is great for promoting Hugo, plus a good way for our #youngpeople to develop literacy skills, & practice recognising others' strengths, needs, and preferences. Win-win-win! @EdinDogCatHome
