Testimonials

“Caroline and Frankie made a lot of difference in our client’s life. 

Each time before their visit our client's mental health was low, but with Caroline and Frankie's involvement our client’s mood improved tremendously throughout the session. 

I highly recommend 'Dogs Do Therapy'."

“My son is autistic and highly anxious about entering and attending school. He found it hard to leave his 'safe place' in the school library.  

Since working with Dogs Do Therapy, he has been able to leave the library with Sam and Caroline and access the playground to participate in sensory and social activities with a friend.  

After Sam has left school, my son has been able to stay in school for longer hours after this period of being more at ease."

“Playing with the dogs helps my son with his anxiety and significant sensory needs; he is always much calmer and happier afterwards. 

He loves to teach the dogs tricks, which really helps with his self-esteem and concentration.  

He really looks forward to his sessions with Caroline and the dogs.” 

– L.P. (parent) 

"I really liked the fact that Caroline and the dog were very flexible about where the sessions happened. 

Caroline always brought a lot of nice things to play with the dog, it was always fun. 

The sessions helped me understand dogs a bit more. I just enjoy being with the dogs. I find it calming."

"I would rate the games with the dogs more than 10 out of 10...it was fantastic and I really enjoyed it".

"Caroline and Sam have made a remarkable impact in supporting my child. Sam really motivates him to get out of the family home and explore his local area. Sam gives him the sense of responsibility and calmness; the sessions positively benefit his mental health. After his sessions, he is often uplifted and ready to do something further with his day. Sam gives him a sense of purpose and I am grateful to him and Caroline.

Furthermore, Caroline has a very calming approach, she has developed a positive therapeutic relationship with my child and he feels comfortable to be in her presence."
