Children
Supports children to understand boundaries, assists with emotional regulation, reduces anxiety, and boosts mood and general wellbeing. Dogs have the ability to mirror emotions and feelings, allowing children to feel understood and validated.
This increases children’s feelings of self-worth and offers a sense of belonging. Child-animal interactions can also promote the development of empathy, as well as aiding withdrawn children to interact in a safe and non-judgemental space.
Therapy dogs create an understanding of responsibility and can induce feelings of empathy, as taking care of an animal and considering their needs helps a person think outside of their own perspective. This can be especially helpful for children with autism.
Using a therapy dog can improve social and communication skills, as the focus of a conversation can be created using Kika. Non-verbal communication and social interaction are enhanced also, as Kika cannot speak but can still communicate. All our home visits start from £50 per hour, with your 1st session FREE.
