“The dogs and myself have gone through a lengthy training program designed especially for clinicians”, She said. “We are evaluated as a team and must undergo a rigorous program of professional development annually.”
“Research shows through the human-animal bond dogs can reduce anxiety, increase relaxation, increase and teach social interaction, increase communication in sessions, as well as act as a motivator for the client,” she said.
My schnauzers are well-known in Toowoomba and throughout south east Queensland, and people have been keenly following our endeavours in this field through social media, in person and word of mouth.”
