Containing a flexible mix of structured and\/or unstructured activities, this service allows agencies to enjoy the benefits of having a therapy dog visit to provide comfort, social interaction, recreational activities and enjoyment to their clients, students or residents. Teams can provide informal visits or be in attendance in group areas. This service is also ideal for client or staff wellbeing events. Having therapy dog and handler teams at your event can help to motivate and engage your audience, whilst providing happiness, stress reduction and time out from everyday demands. Teams in attendance respond to the client needs on the day, and these programmes are not pre-planned or curriculum based.<\/p>\n
