Dog Therapy Background Information

Research shows that young people can become nervous and stressed when reading to others in a group. However, when a  therapy dog enters the group, they often become less stressed, less self-conscious and more confident as the dogs are non-judgemental.

Therapy dogs provide comfort, encourage positive social behaviours, enhance self-esteem, motivate speech and inspire young people to have fun.
