In today’s world, the presence of a gentle paw can be healing in many areas that traditional medicine cannot reach; Therapy Dogs stand as our silent and lovable heroes and possess an innate ability to support, comfort and heal.
Authors of 'Activities with Therapy Dogs', Jane Remington-Gurney and Lynette Swart, are both Therapy Dog Handlers accredited by Therapy Dogs Australia and together they want to highlight the extraordinary bond between humans and therapy dogs and provide activities for other therapy dog handlers to use to enhance their impact with consumers.
Within the pages of this book, both Jane and Lynette have documented some of their favourite activities done with and alongside their therapy dogs.
Each activity is illustrated, described and reviewed with a particular reference to setting, purpose, and considerations.
The book is free, however if you would like to support the continued presence of therapy dogs in our hospitals, we invite you to make a donation to Wishlist.
Your contribution helps ensure that these amazing animals can continue to bring healing and happiness to those in need.
