Issues that arise through training an animal are to encourage patience and discipline. 3. Responsibility of caring for an animal instills compassion and concern. 4. It is a listening exercise to comprehend information. 5. Ultimately, the child will gain an education through the art of training an animal which in turn can lead to more confidence, a sense of accomplishment and well being. The series leads them to use the new skill as an opener to form new relationships and use their communication ability.
