What is Dog Therapy?
Dog therapy is the ability of dogs to improve people's well-being simply through their presence, affection, and daily interaction. We're not just talking about professional dog therapy (assistance dogs, animal-assisted therapy, or animal-assisted intervention), but also what happens at home every day.
A dog improves your life without you having to ask it to.
The human-dog bond is so deep that their companionship produces both emotional and physical benefits that can be felt from day one.
