Assistance Dogs, Service Dogs and Puppy Therapy
Introduction
In the 1700’s the Quakers understood that the presence of pets could promote social interaction and reduce psychological responses to anxiety. They ran a retreat for people suffering from mental health issues and began to introduce animals to “enhance the humanity of the emotionally ill” patients who lived there.
The use of animals in therapeutic support has been well documented over recent years. Research has found that stroking a pet can offer psychological benefits as it can be relaxing and result in a reduction in blood pressure. Their use has been successfully introduced in different settings including residential care homes, schools and hospitals.
