Dogs Do Therapy

Another new member of the Dogs Do Therapy team - welcome Sterling! We introduced him to the tunnel and puzzle mat, which we use in client sessions and he was very interested in both, with treats involved too, of course 🤩. Does he remind you of another member of the team?!

My talented young client has mastered training Sam into ‘Middle’ position. Sam helped motivate him to go outside today after a patch of being very unwell and unable to leave the house - so lovely to see 2 very happy faces!

Introducing Louis, one of our wonderful new recruits to the Dogs Do Therapy Team. Louis is a whippet whose favourite things are cheese and the beach. He is very gentle and calm, and we’ve discovered that he loves to sniff out treats in dog puzzles!

Another fun session of Animal-Assisted Activities at Inspire Day Centre. Great team work shown in setting up the dog puzzle, and Sam had a great time sniffing out the hidden treats.

“Caroline and her team of dogs and volunteers provided animal-assisted therapy to people with brain injury on our neuro-rehab unit- and they absolutely loved it! Therapy with Sam or Rio really motivated them to work on their physical, communication, and sensory goals in a fun, interesting, and relevant way. Everyone always looked forward to their sessions with Caroline and felt uplifted after working with the dogs.” Simon Grobler- Consultant Speech and Language Therapist, The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery

Another great session at the Inspire Day Centre in Bexleyheath this morning. Activities included carrying out a health check for Rio and putting together dog puzzles with treats for Callie and Rio to sniff out. Great team work shown by all members and lots of fun had by all! 😀

Our talented new client is doing so well learning the hand signals to give Sam when asking him to ‘sit’, ‘down’, ‘wait’ and ‘middle’. Dogs respond very well to this form of visual communication.

Nothing’s better to lift your mood. 💙🧡 Stroking a dog releases serotonin and oxytocin (the good chemicals) not only in our brains, but in the dog’s too. A win-win!

Happy 6th Birthday Sam! He has brought so much joy and happiness over the last 6 years. He has helped- and continues to help - so many. 🌟❤️
