‘No More Bullying’: How trained companion animals help to teach students anti-bullying lessons

(InvestigateTV) — It is a Tuesday morning for this third-grade class as students get ready for a lesson with their teacher.

However, instead of their normal teacher, today, their teacher is a 10-year-old border collie named Kyna.

What can a dog teach a group of children? More than you may think.

Kyna is a trained companion animal that visits schools for weeklong sessions called “No More Bullying.” She is taken care of by the Wayside Waifs animal shelter in Kansas City.

Reporter Kristin Crowley takes an in-depth look at how this program works to put a stop to bullying.
