Discovering your potential with Ray
Canine Cuddle Sessions
A Canine Cuddle Counselling session helps clients feel comfortable, relaxed, and more willing to engage in the therapy sessions. Many times, reluctant teens and adults will open up when the focus is on Dixie, the dog, rather than themselves
Animal therapy refers to the use of an animal for their researched ability to lower stress levels, increase willingness to participate in therapeutic interventions, support self-esteem and mood, decrease symptoms of depression, and improve client satisfaction. Additionally, research has shown that animal support can decrease symptoms of traumatic response when processing events in session.
Ray and Dixie the Canine Cuddler offers 50 minute sessions in London Ontario. Dixie is a trained, calm and loving dog that works well with teens & adults.
