| Summary: | We follow a group of excluded schoolchildren undertaking a pioneering behaviour management course at Cheltenham Animal Sanctuary. The children are paired with their very own rescue dog who they work with over a four week period. The responsibility of caring for the dog - from feeding and exercising to mucking out and training - hopefully brings out the best, rather than the worst, in these troubled youngsters. We hear from Gloucestershire Reintegration Service how successful the course is and how it has helped turn around the lives of some of the children they work with. We also hear from the children themselves how they feel about their bad behaviour and why working with the dogs can change their attitude to school. Although only half of the children will complete the course, for those who do there's a special graduation day to celebrate, attended by parents and carers - and a new life ahead of them. |
