Mia - Therapy Dog in Training

Mia is a standard bernedoodle (bernese mountain dog X standard poodle), but is often mistaken for being a teddy bear or floor mat!


Mia is a skilled listener who has a well-honed ability to sense when someone is upset.  She provides emotional support, either by sitting with clients or encouraging play, and she loves being told she is a “good girl”.



The role of therapy dogs in counselling is to provide psychological or physiological therapy to individuals other than their owners.  Unlike service dogs, therapy dogs are encouraged to interact with a variety of people, and patting them is highly recommended!

Therapy dogs can increase the attachment response that triggers oxytocin, helping to build trust in others.  Research has shown that therapy dogs can help reduce stress, decrease anxiety, and provide a sense of connection in difficult situations.  Using therapy dogs in response to traumatic events can assist in reducing the symptoms of depression, post- traumatic stress disorder and anxiety that may result from the trauma experienced.
