Decompression activities and the length of time needed will vary based on the type of work your therapy dog is involved in. For intensive work, it’s highly likely your dog will need more decompression time than the work itself.

Q. What is a Therapy Dog?A. A THERAPY DOG is a dog who has been professionally trained and assessed to work with their handler (usually their owner) who has also been trained in the provision of ethical and professional delivery of Animal Assisted Services.Therapy Dog services can be offered professionally in the workplace, by persons working in the fields of Allied Health or Education, or similar. The dogs accompany their professional handlers to assist with the implementation of various traditional and evidence-based interventions (such as cognitive-behavioural therapy) – where clinically appropriate.Or they can be offered by paraprofessionals who either volunteer or have paid roles in offering Animal Assisted Activities. These activities are aimed to improve health and wellbeing for the persons that they are visiting with. Common activities will include visits to schools, hospitals and nursing homes. These visits are typically unstructured and will include things like petting, brushing and talking about the dog – whilst also connecting with other members of the community for a positive experience overall.🐾 Interested in becoming a therapy dog and handler team?
