Meet Ziggy
Ziggy
Ziggy is a Cavapoo who is in training to become a therapy dog. Therapy dogs can be a great addition to the therapeutic process as they can increase an individual’s ability to regulate emotional arousal. Research has shown that therapy dogs decrease symptoms of anxiety and depression, reduce stress levels, and increase adaptive cognitions. Additionally, therapy dogs are exceptional social catalysts as they encourage the development of social understanding, increase empathy within interpersonal skills, and heighten awareness of nonverbal social cues.
If you are interested in having Ziggy attend your therapy session please let us know.
