Simba and Digby on duty this afternoon ❤️

After the classes official therapy session ended, we walked through the school as normal, but we bumped into some lovely staff members!
They hadn't seen the dogs much, so we wanted to let them know why we visit, the work we do and and meet the doggies.

Simba provided some "cuddles" and pressure therapy, but both dogs also just relaxed well whilst we stood chatting.

It's always wonderful talking and engaging with the staff, they're so hardworking and deserve so much credit for the support, care and guidance they provide young people.

Thank you school staff, on behalf of the Pet Respect team 🙏

Look who it is ❤️

Today at this afternoons school visit, we brought one of our OG doggies, Buddy (11) who is our charities founders doggy. He's semi retired now but came out today to give Bonnie a rest.

We also brought the gorgeous Sybil (nearly 9), who lived and was handled by our beloved Elaine who we sadly lost last month.

All of the staff at this school adored Elaine and Sybil, so you can imagine there were tears shed but mostly utter joy in seeing her 🐾
Both dogs enjoyed the games, treats and affection provided by the staff and young people.

Hope you're all doing well, I know the middle of the week can be hard for some but hopefully these doggies smiles and the joy they bring provides you with that push to keep going. Big hugs from the Pet Respect team!

Happy Monday!

I couldn't choose 1 out of the 3 photos of Bonnie, so they all had to be shown!

Bonnie, Digby & Nellie were on therapy duty today at two of our wonderful schools we visit.
Digby and Nellie decided to snooze back to back later in the day 🥰

Digby has had enough of this miserable weather! So much so, he's turned his back on it 😅

Hopefully we'll have sunny days again soon, Diggers, so you and your pals at work can sun lounge.

Hope everyone's having a lovely weekend so far ✨️

Nellie & Lady at their school session today!

It's lovely to hear that when Becca was doing the "Where’s Lady book" withtwo students, Lady was going to sleep, all wrapped in ger boritto blanket. A really sweet thing happened then, one of the students sang her a lullaby 🥹

It's kindness like this we like to praise and encourage woth the young people we work with! Well done all 💕🐾

Little throwback to a less fluffy Simba taking his p**p bag off the school grounds to another bin or home 🥹

We also have the gorgeous golden boy Oscar who was a regular visiting therapy dog but sadly can't work with us anymore, due to his mummy's personal life. However, he has left a lasting impression on the students though as they regularly ask after him 🥰

It's now half term and that means when we return, we only have 1 term before school summer holidays! 😱 where has this year gone?!

Anyway, hope you're all well and we'll see you soon ✨️

It is with great sadness that we have to be sharing this news with you all. Elaine Johnson passed away on Monday, the 5th of May, which was such a shock to us all.
We worked with her every week for 4 years (when she joined Pet Respects team), she was always happy, never wanted to let anyone down and certainly had, in Elaine's words, "the gift of the gab", making her such a warm and welcoming soul to be around and engage with.

Elaine, along with her bernese mountain dog Sybil, were a beloved and popular team for Pet Respect, so this is a real loss not just for our team but ALL who met her. Many children and teachers have expressed their sorrow, and we are all touched by the empathy shown over the past 2 weeks without her company.
We are all heartbroken and still expect to see her waiting for us to start a session, as she adored the work, but we have to be grateful for all our memories of this wonderful lady. We are so lucky to have known her and will continue the work we did together.

Our thoughts, love and respect are with her nearest and dearest.

Rest well, Elaine, our dear friend 🕊

We had another super successful therapy doggy day event yesterday, offering the staff at Wescots Credit Serivies, Hull Branch, some much deserved animal assisted therapy throughout their working day 🐾

Due to how we work, we're able to have many dogs of all shapes and sizes do "shift work" throughout the day, no more than 2 hours total of direct therapy work, with 15-60 mins total of breaks, so it isn't too much. General safety, the dogs' psychological and physical well-being is top priority at all the sessions we provide! Making for a calm, happy, and successful experience shared with humans and dogs.

It also enables all the people to interact and see various breeds and personalities 🥰 Thank you ever so much for having us back to spread some joy, share our wonderful doggies and education with you all. The organisation collaborated to do this day is truly appreciated!

🐝 Happy 1st Bee Lady Day 🐝

Today marks the first-ever Bee Lady Day – a heartfelt celebration of Hull’s very own Jean Bishop, who raised over £125,000 for Age UK Hull & East Yorkshire, whilst dressed as a bee 💛

Today would've been her birthday, so what better way to celebrate her life & recognise her 30 years of raising awareness and money for Age UK.
A true one in a bee-illion.

✨️ Bonnie & Simba on duty teaching the students all about canine body language! ✨️

Such an important aspect of our work is education, alongside animal assisted therapy. Since 2009, Pet Respect has put safety, animal welfare & education above simply just stroking dogs continuously. It's a two way communication, interaction and so important to understand the dogs we have working with us.

Today, we viewed & discussed the PDSA PowerPoint, which breaks down complex emotions in a simple way for all to understand.
Obviously, it wasn't the dogs purley teaching this. It was our founder Kim & dog trainer Sally doing most of the education 😉 BUT the dogs play a vital role as always!

Thank you for all of the teamwork, time & entertainment you bring yo brighten the days of those you visit 🥰🐾
