We're on a mission
to bring trained therapy dogs into schools, hospices, care homes, and hospitals while adhering to international standards of safety and practice
Our commitment to ethics is two-fold. First, we ensure our therapy dogs enjoy their work and are eager participants, safeguarding their welfare and preventing accidents. Second, we prioritize our clients' safety and positive experiences.
01
Ethics
03
Evidence-based
We integrate evidence in every aspect of our activites, from developing our policies on animal welfare and stress identification, to the actual activities in our programs such as the Maths is Pawsible and Read2Dogs programs.
02
Competence
Competent and knowledgeable handlers understand the roles they play and can effectively respond to their dogs' signals and needs. This expertise ensures both the welfare of the dogs and the safety and satisfaction of our clients.
Our values
Our Therapy Dogs team is dedicated to advancing the field of animal-assisted therapy through rigorous research, innovative programs, and compassionate practice. By integrating the latest evidence-based methods and maintaining the highest standards of care, we ensure that our therapy dogs and handlers deliver effective, ethical, and impactful interactions.
