We got a new puppy here at Triumph. One of the unique programs that sets Triumph apart from other residential teen recovery centers is the Retriever Program.
Triumph students have the opportunity to train Registered Retrievers. The youth care for and train puppies, juvenile retrievers, and adult retrievers on a daily basis. This covers socialization, obedience, and basic training through advanced training. Once the boys become competent in their training skills, they also have the opportunity to work at and compete in many nationally AKC licensed retriever tests and field trials.
This is a highly therapeutic process in which youth must be approved by Triumph Youth Services Clinicians and administration to participate.
We got a new puppy recently to start in the Retriever program with the boys.
