Did you know that Cobberdogs can help with speech therapy?
I asked some of our puppy owners if they would share what it’s like to have a Cobberdog. Keep reading to learn what Marjorie, a speech therapist, has to say about how sweet Eliora (Balder x Alba) is assisting her in her work and bringing joy to her family. So proud of this amazing team! 🌟
“I am Marjorie, a passionate speech therapist and happy mother. In my work and family life, our Australian Cobberdog plays a vital role. 🐶
Having undergone specialist training to integrate a therapy dog into speech therapy care, I have seen first-hand the many benefits such a companion can bring to my patients. Our Cobberdog is perfect for patients with allergies, allowing them to enjoy sessions without discomfort. Her calm and reassuring presence helps to reduce stress and anxiety, creating an environment conducive to therapy.
Children and adults are often more motivated to actively participate in therapy exercises in her presence. Interaction with our dog encourages the use of voice and the practice of communication skills in a relaxed and playful setting. In addition, she provides beneficial sensory stimulation, helping patients to focus and stay engaged.
Our Cobberdog is also extremely flexible and adapts easily to different therapy environments, allowing her to be integrated into a variety of activities and exercises. Her intelligence and gentle nature make her an ideal companion for therapy sessions, facilitating positive and constructive interactions with patients. She loves human company and is always ready to interact and play, which helps to build a bond of trust between the therapist and the patient.
We use our Cobberdog in rehabilitation practices, where she is an integral part of games and other activities. Whether bringing objects, participating in interactive games or simply providing a comforting presence, she actively contributes to the progress of patients.
However, it is important to note that her coat requires regular maintenance and can be expensive. It requires a lot of time and frequent visits to the dog groomer. In return, it is essential to offer her lots of love and tenderness, which she will return a hundredfold. A crucial element is to provide her with constant education and care throughout her life to ensure her development and well-being. Such an exceptional dog deserves to be exposed to various stimuli and to follow training courses, a precious gift that will allow you to fully enjoy her company.
At home, she is a precious member of our family. With my child, she is playful and always in a good mood, bringing happiness and joy to our home. Her affectionate nature and constant enthusiasm enrich our daily lives, making her an irreplaceable companion.
In short, our Australian Cobberdog is a precious asset, both for my speech therapy practice and for our family life. She offers emotional support, extra motivation and a joyful presence that accompanies us every day. 🌟”
