Introduction to Dog Therapy
introducing the concept of dog therapy and its benefits for reducing stress, promoting relaxation, and improving overall well-being. Interaction with dogs can release feel-good hormones like oxytocin and dopamine, which can help alleviate negative emotions.
Mindful Dog Interaction
Guide participants through mindful interaction exercises with the therapy dog. Encourage them to pay attention to the sensations, emotions, and thoughts that arise as they interact with the dog. This can help participants become more present and grounded in the moment, reducing anxiety and stress.
Drawing, Painting, Printing & Mixed Media
We provide a wide range of creative possibilities throughout our workshops. We invite you to themes from the literal - by drawing or painting portraits of the dog capturing moments of playfulness and joy. Expressing emotions through abstract or symbolic representations.
Other creative themes will be based around our topics that form the arching meaning and messages for each workshop.
You do not need to be an artist to participate. The artwork is based on self expression and self realisation.
Closing Dog Therapy Session
The experience will end end where you have the opportunity for one last interaction with the therapy dog. This can help reinforce the positive effects of the experience and leave you feeling uplifted and rejuvenated.
