Therapy Dog ( In training )
Meet Kai!
Kai Rose is our therapy dog in training! She is studying and training hard to become a certified therapy dog so that she can see patients in 2026! She is an AKC Certified Labrador Retriever and loves meeting new friends.
Feel free to look for her in our Lynchburg office and follow along with her journey to certification on our social media!
benefits of including a therapy dog in your session:
- Many studies have shown that dogs can help lower blood pressure and cortisol
- Therapy dogs are trained to lay on or sit near their clients in order to help reduce stress and to act almost like a weighted blanket
- Psychology Today reports that “Many therapists believe a pet or dog in the therapist’s office appears to enhance the patient’s ability to cope and possibly heighten the individual’s sense of safety” (2015)
