TESTIMONIALS
Thank you for trusting us!
Marta Albert Babot
“In the field of child and adolescent mental health, therapy with dogs can help the development of a number of our young patients. Although there are very few studies to support this, every day there are more private and public examples showing this. Our rehabilitation service has organized two different types of groups to work with the dogs of Canis Grup; one, a therapy group, and the other, a reading group. Both have been successful, attractive to young people, improving the atmosphere, motivating reading and change, the expressing of affection, relieving apathy momentarily and enabling a different level of interaction. Nit and Mel carry out this role very well under the supervision of Laura and the guidance of the leader of the therapy session.” (…veure més)
“As a teacher in a clinic, I think that carrying out a reading workshop with dogs is a very enriching experience. This is a pleasurable activity aimed at fomenting the habit of reading and on working on the four linguistic abilities thru different tasks. The dog is a motivating element, which generates a relaxed atmosphere and confidence, allowing boys and girls to show themselves as being more receptive and to participate without being judged by anybody.”
“Therapy with dogs ia an excellent way to reach people who show no interest in other activities and who like animals.The dogs bring a lot of wellbeing and moments of happiness. They are also an effective stimulus for other cognitive aspects. We have obtained very good results and the experience has been very positive.”
Nora Pérez
“Dog therapy not only helps the work with cognitive rehabilitation and participation at the clinic, but also creates an effect that is not visible to the eye. The genuine smile of a old person on seeing Mel; The positive atmosphere among patients; The expectation that follows from the day when the dog therapy session took place. All this is accompanied by excellent professionals who, with the same therapeutic objective, show a variety of creative and ingenious ways of using the dog in therapy sessions.”
Sílvia Palau Garcia
“The affection which is generated between infants and animals facilitates developing sessions which achieve established educational objectives. The smiles and the illusion that the children show when Canis Grup comes through the door shows the effectiveness and magic of the interventions by Nit and Mel.”
