Meet Our Therapy Dogs
LUKE
Luke loves to have fun! He enjoys engaging with other dogs and playing keep away. Luke is a big boy and a big goofball. Luke loves it when he gets to do a lap around the waiting room to say “hi!” to our clients. He also tends to forget that he’s a 75lb dog, and he may sit in your lap.
LUCY
Lucy is our resident puppy princess. She has perfected her puppy dog eyes and will absolutely make you fall for them. She loves to snuggle and will probably curl up in your lap during session. She might even fall asleep there, which will make it especially hard to leave!
CHARLIE BROWN
Charlie is the world’s biggest cuddle bug. He would love to sit in your lap or next to you during session! Charlie is great at fetch, and he will usually say hello by bringing you a ball. Charlie is a natural therapy dog, and he is happy to comfort you and provide you with laughs.
Luke and Charlie Brown are both certified therapy dogs through Professional Therapy Dogs of Colorado. While Lucy has not yet been certified, we are hoping to get her a certification soon!
Why Animal-Assisted Therapy?
The benefits of animal-assisted therapy are numerous and have been proven through research and anecdotal evidence. Animal-assisted therapy can help you:
Improve motivation and commitment to therapy
Develop a sense of trust, as the dogs act as objects of attachment
By providing unconditional love
Improve focus and attention
Learn grounding and containment skills
Deepen the impact of your therapy through play
