Role of 4-H Dog Programs in Life Skills Development
Stress management, resilience, learning-to-learn, self-esteem, and empathy are life skills that play a pivotal role in the psychosocial development of youth who are prepared to manage everyday challenges, and are caring toward people and animals. We hypothesized that 4-H dog club membership is associated with improved life skills of youth participating in these activities compared with youth who do not. We surveyed Washington and Idaho youth (n =…
Interaction with Shelter Dogs Reduces Negative Affect of Adolescents in Substance Use Disorder Treatment

Specifically, we propose…
