This video is all about what Paw Pause is … and isn’t. We spoke with .au about Paw Pause’s unique mix of allied health professionals and trained therapy dogs to support students succeeding at school. Want to know more? We’ll be at KYDX this Friday and Saturday ready for chats and pats!

Paw Pause combines the expertise of allied health professionals and their trained therapy dogs to support children and teenagers to thrive in school and beyond.

Working with students where they need the most support - at school - their handler and dog teams seamlessly fit in with the learning environment and support students to build their capacity during their sessions and then draw upon these new skills later on. Paw Pause teams can work with individual students, or schools may choose to engage them to work with small groups or across the campus.

Ever wanted the chance to meet our Head of Marketing, face to, well… snout?

Paw Pause’s unofficial CEO, Eddie the Golden Retriever, and Paw Pause founder Niki and team will be at KYDX next Friday, November 14 and Saturday, November 15. Stop by for free pats (subject to Ed’s nap schedule) and chat all things animal-assisted therapy.

Paw Pause is unique in that we’re all about supporting students to be calm, regulated and ready to learn alongside their peers in the classroom. And we build students’ capacity so they can use the skills the learned with us, even when the Paw Pause team isn’t with them.
