The current interest in this educational approach highlights the emergence of a new outlook on animals and a different way of thinking about education. » According to www.social.fr
It’s also scientifically proven! Petting a dog releases endorphins, the feel-good hormones. And a dog never judges a wrong note! Learning music or an instrument becomes easier and more natural. And the more at ease you feel, the better you play!
What does a lesson with Ellie actually look like?
The relationship with a dog builds up gradually. Interactions only happen at the learner’s request and under my supervision. During the lesson, you can pet her, which also helps group cohesion and teaches sharing in group lessons.
