Therapy Dog

Honey Therapy Dog with graduation hat and therapy dog bandana

Honey is a young Golden Retriever who has earned certification as a Therapy Dog, and I have completed training to become a certified Therapy Dog Handler.

 

Honey's obedience training is exceptional and she has demonstrated a calm and friendly temperament across a wide range of environments , including aged care facilities, childcare centres, farms and public spaces. She remains relaxed and welcoming even amid varying levels of energy, noise and activity.

 

If you prefer not to interact with Honey, she respects that boundary and will happily give you space.

 

Together, Honey and I are available to work as a psychologist-therapy dog team, in clinical, corporate and community settings or events. If you're interested in arranging an experience with us, please reach out and we can discuss how we could support your goals.

​

If you're considering training your own dog as a therapy or assistance dog - or simply want to achieve reliable obedience I'd be happy to guide you towards reputable training programs and certification pathways.

​

Feel free to contact me to explore therapy dog visits, discuss Honey's availability, or get some direction towards training.

They depart to teach us about loss.
 
A new dog never replaces an old dog, it merely expands the heart"
