Meet Matcha!

Matcha is a 7 year old golden retriever/black lab mix. She came to me from Canine Companions as a released service dog candidate. She was released just before her graduation because she was afraid of slippery and shiny surfaces. I'm proud to say that Matcha has become the bravest girl and no longer struggles with this fear! Matcha absolutely loves people and I'm excited to see the positive impact she will have.

Therapy dogs are highly trained animals that assist with a number of therapeutic goals, including: improving motivation and engagement in therapy, help to build trust and provide a sense of security, they offer unconditional acceptance, can act as symbols and metaphors in the client’s life, help in the areas of focus and attention, act as agents of de-arousal as they help clients learn soothing and calming skills, they can be a source of social and emotional support, can be instruments of learning, and most importantly offer humor and fun in the session.

Matcha will be joining me for a few sessions a week to help with all of the above and so much more!
