Golden Retriever Poppy: The Newest Star at Parkview Special School ⭐

In the warm and supportive community of Parkview Special School in Lisburn, a new member has recently joined the team. Poppy, a Golden Retriever with a heart as golden as her fur, has been meticulously trained, assessed and accredited as a Therapy Dog. She is lovingly cared for by Colin Ward, the school's principal, who has also undergone extensive training to ensure Poppy’s wellbeing and the safety of everyone at the school.

✨Poppy’s Path to Accreditation

Poppy’s journey to becoming a Therapy Dog was both rigorous and thorough. Following some initial training, Poppy and Colin attended Lead and Learn Dog Training in Crumlin, where Lorraine, as a 'Trusted Trainer' with the esteemed organisation Therapy Dog Training UK, guided them through the process. Poppy first completed a temperament and suitability assessment, followed by advanced training that ultimately led to her certification.

✨Therapy dogs like Poppy can bring a wealth of benefits to a special school environment. They can significantly reduce anxiety and stress among students, offering a calming presence that eases emotional distress. For students with profound learning and physical disabilities, Poppy offers unique therapeutic advantages. Her gentle nature and calm presence help these students experience moments of connection and engagement that are crucial for their emotional and psychological development.

✨A Community Effort: The Role of the PTA

The introduction of Poppy to Parkview Special School would not have been possible without the incredible support of the school’s Parent-Teacher Association, Friends of Parkview. Recognising the profound impact a therapy dog could have, the group's fundraising covered the costs associated with Poppy’s training and accreditation.
This collective effort not only showcases the strong community spirit in Parkview but also highlights the dedication of parents and teachers to enhancing the educational experience and wellbeing of the students.

✨Therapy dogs can be invaluable in a wide range of settings, including schools, workplaces, care homes, special needs groups, youth groups, counselling centres, airports, courts and prisons, among many others.

ℹ️ If you believe your dog has the potential to become a Therapy Dog for your school or workplace, contact Lead and Learn Dog Training for more information on assessment, training and accreditation.

Stella, a lovely 14 month old whippet was in with me today for her first Temperament and Training Assessment on her journey to becoming a Therapy Dog for the organisation Voicing the Void, and she did amazingly well! 🐾 Her gentle temperament and eagerness to learn show real promise and I’m excited to guide her and her guardian through the next stages.

Over the coming months, we’ll be working hard to bring her training up to the high standards required for Therapy Dog accreditation. I’m confident she’ll be a perfect fit for Voicing the Void’s important work, helping to uplift and empower underrepresented voices.

Looking forward to watching Stella grow into her role! 🌟

🐾 A Productive Day of Learning! 🐾

Today, I had the privilege of hosting a workshop for the dedicated staff at Live Life Well-Being Centre in Lisburn, who work tirelessly to support young adults with additional needs. The focus was on caring for their wonderful Therapy Dog in training, Poppy, and ensuring her wellbeing in her important role.

By prioritising Poppy’s wellbeing, the group's participants can benefit from a more enriching and supportive experience, while the staff can be confident they are fostering a safe and nurturing environment.

Thank you to everyone who attended. I look forward to continuing Poppy’s training and assessment over the coming months, working towards her becoming a fully qualified Therapy Dog and supporting the incredible work of the centre.

🐾 Exciting News! Wren is a beautiful (almost!) 18 month old Cocker Spaniel who is just weeks away from becoming a fully qualified Therapy Dog! 🐾

As Wren’s trainer, it’s been amazing to work with her and her owner, Deirdre O'Kane, a Psychotherapist from Ballymena who will soon have Wren by her side during therapy sessions. Wren and Deirdre have both been working hard for many months to meet the high standards required for this role and they are almost there!

In this video, you’ll see Wren in action during a training session at The Junction Retail and Leisure Park in Antrim. These environments are perfect for helping Wren get used to busy, real-world situations, ensuring she’s calm, focused and ready for anything.

Therapy dogs like Wren provide invaluable support to children and adults dealing with emotional and mental health challenges. Wren’s training has focused on making her a reliable, intuitive and soothing presence. Whether it’s easing anxiety, comforting someone in distress or simply being a gentle companion, Wren is almost ready to make a real difference!

I am so proud of how far Wren has come and can’t wait for her to officially join Deirdre in their important work together. Stay tuned for the big day! 🌟

🌟 Start Training Early for a Smooth Journey! 🌟

Meet Teddy! 🐾 This adorable boy is now an adolescent and has recently attended a lead walking class with his dedicated owner. While Teddy and his owner have done an amazing job in class, it’s a great reminder of the importance of starting training early.

Training a puppy is much easier and sets the foundation for better behaviour as they grow. Puppies are like sponges, soaking up new skills quickly. However, training an older dog, like Teddy, requires more time, patience, and perseverance.

Starting early can make your training journey smoother and more enjoyable for both you and your furry friend.

Big shoutout to Teddy and his owner for their hard work and progress! Keep it up! 🐕👏
