Alternative Social Communication CASSIE

Teaching with Dogs

All of the dogs have their own unique personalities and areas of strength and are qualified Therapy Dogs.

We choose the individual dogs to be used in sessions according to the needs of the client and the environment that they will be working in

During your initial assessment sessions it is possible that you may meet more than one dog over the first six weeks generally we use Chance the German Spitz or Phoebe the Sheltie/Pomeranian cross.

It is important that both dog and client are happy working together to enable them both to feel safe and secure. I take our dog's welfare very seriously and need to ensure that they are happy and secure in sessions
