School dog joining CVP!
For a considerable time, we have researched the
benefits of having a school dog.
Dogs are increasingly being used in schools, as
well as hospitals and care homes in a therapeutic role.
We have chosen a Labradoodle. They are a breed
of dog that are recognised for their mild temperament, hypo-allergenic coats
and are widely used in therapy and support.
Research demonstrates many benefits of a school
dog, including:
• Reduced stress
• Foster a sense or responsibility
• Motivate pupils
• Enjoyment and enthusiasm for animals
• Improved attendance
• Build confidence in reading
• Support vulnerable children
Our school dog will attend puppy school and we
hope it will become a registered therapy dog in the future.
It is possible our new school dog may arrive
later this week!
