Bringing Therapy Dogs to K-12 Schools and Universities: Enhancing Student Well-Being

The Power of Therapy Dogs in Schools

Students today face increasing academic pressures, social challenges, and emotional stress. An onsite facility therapy dog can provide comfort, reduce anxiety, and create a more positive school environment. Schools that incorporate therapy dogs report improved student well-being, increased engagement, and stronger emotional resilience among students.

Benefits of an Onsite Therapy Dog in Schools

✔ Reduces Anxiety & Stress: The presence of a therapy dog has been shown to lower stress levels and create a calming effect, especially during high-pressure situations like exams or social challenges.
✔ Encourages Emotional Expression & Social Skills: Students often find it easier to express their emotions and practice empathy when interacting with a therapy dog.
✔ Promotes a Positive Learning Environment: A therapy dog can enhance classroom morale, encourage participation, and foster a sense of community.
✔ Supports Students with Special Needs: Therapy dogs are particularly beneficial for students with autism, ADHD, and emotional or behavioral challenges.
✔ Helps with Crisis Intervention: Whether dealing with grief, trauma, or other emotional distress, a therapy dog provides comfort and emotional regulation during difficult moments.
