There was a dog petting therapy session for staff in the room opposite my student seminar this morning. In the end all control was lost as half the students spent more time petting dogs than in the seminar. It's probably good for their stress levels though as the seminar was focused on their assessment. Which doesn't involve petting dogs.
Once had a group of adult learners one of whom was blind and had guide dog. It was one of the most chilled and stress free class I've had. The presence of a dog just change the whole feel of the room and everyone in it. It was a very interesting few weeks, I'd love to do it all again.


. Ronnie O'Sullivan lost.
