dog therapy

Dog therapy, also known as animal-assisted therapy, involves the use of trained dogs to support individuals facing emotional, psychological, or physical challenges. These therapy dogs provide companionship, reduce stress, and promote emotional healing in environments such as hospitals, schools, and nursing homes. Interacting with therapy dogs can improve mood, alleviate anxiety, and even encourage physical activity in patients. The presence of a dog can foster a sense of safety and connection, enhancing therapeutic outcomes. This form of therapy harnesses the natural bond between humans and dogs to aid in healing and well-being.
