Our unique Retriever program continues to grow. Puppies, puppies and more puppies. The Triumph Retriever program is a highly therapeutic process in which youth must be approved by Triumph Youth Services Clinicians and administration to participate. Teaching these dogs takes an extreme amount of patience and compassion.
The students learn various life skills from this program including, positive recreation, patience, communication, responsibility, handling frustration, the importance of repeating positive actions/behavior, fair and positive competition, establishing appropriate relationships and boundaries, accepting NO, dealing with failure and stick-to-itiveness. This is a huge trust building exercise, as well as learning true accountability and responsibility.
