🐕‍🦺✨ A few weeks ago, our students had an unforgettable day learning with LBK9 Club. Before anyone held a leash, students learned to check in with state of mind. Calm, alert, excited, fearful. Then they practiced leading with presence, patience, & self-control because dogs reflect energy.
Paired with trainers & dogs, students stepped into leadership. One student who started the day afraid ended it confidently guiding the pack. That growth was the whole point.
Huge thanks to LBK9 Club & the training team for welcoming our students with care, high expectations, & real community partnership. #SocialEmotionalLearning #CalmIsASkill #Tenacity #Humility #IVAHigh

🐕‍🦺✨ Hace unas semanas, nuestros estudiantes de vivieron una experiencia increíble con LBK9 Club.
Antes de tomar una correa, aprendieron a identificar el estado mental. Calma, alerta, emoción, miedo. Después practicaron liderar con presencia, paciencia y autocontrol porque los perros reflejan la energía.
En parejas con entrenadores y perros, los estudiantes asumieron liderazgo. Un estudiante que comenzó con miedo terminó guiando al grupo con calma y confianza. Ese cambio lo fue todo.
Muchas gracias a LBK9 Club y al equipo de entrenamiento por recibir a nuestros estudiantes con cuidado, altas expectativas y una verdadera colaboración comunitaria. #AprendizajeSocioemocional #LaCalmaSeAprende #Tenacidad #Humildad #IVAHigh
