Program Training

Everything you need to launch and run a program.

WATCH D.O.G.S.® provides a clear path from "interested" to a running program on your campus. Free training first, then the Startup Kit, then ongoing support through Watch D.O.G.S. University and the weekly Leadership Forum.

What the program delivers

A campus impact, three ways.

Students gain positive male role models

By taking time to come to campus and serve the students and teachers, fathers demonstrate that education is important. A male role model can positively impact a student's life in three critical areas: academic performance, self-esteem, and social behavior.

Schools gain an extra set of eyes and ears

The presence of a father or father figure provides an additional deterrent to bullying, enhances a sense of security in the building, and helps create an environment conducive to learning.

Fathers gain greater awareness of challenges

Fathers learn about the increasingly complex challenges and decisions today's youth are facing. As a result, they can learn to relate better to their student and hopefully connect with them.
