What a good idea.

I've heard of something similar done with kids with speech impediments, reading aloud in front of a dog, an audience that won't judge them.

You mean teaching him to read? or be near nervous dogs? I doubt he's very soothing...

JaronceOrTwice
That's cool but what these dogs really need is to play and exercise, they need to be taken out for a walk, reading to them seems silly tbh.

Actually, kids that age have much more confidence reading to dogs. There's less fear of judgement.

Calm which one? Cause my 7 year old reads at a few grades higher but gets in trouble at "silent reading time"....
tittiemcjiggleboots
"Tah-tah-tah tah-day Jun-ya!!!!" -dogs probably

Help calm which one, kid or dog? Either way it works

Should let them sit with them .
SomeRandomNobhead
Probably not a good idea as a fair few would have come from abusive homes and maybe violent, they ain't risking the law suit.
