At Stay n Play Canine Therapies, we understand the profound impact that loneliness and isolation can have on mental health, especially among children and young people. Our mission is to offer therapeutic and joyful interactions with dogs to help alleviate these feelings and foster a sense of community and connection.

Therapeutic Interactions

Each session is tailored to meet the emotional and psychological needs of our children and young people. During these sessions, participants can engage in various activities with the dogs, such as playing, petting, and walking. These activities are proven to reduce stress, increase feelings of happiness, and stimulate social interaction. By nurturing a connection with our dogs, participants often find a comfortable space to open up and interact more freely, which is especially valuable for children and teenagers who may struggle in traditional social settings.

Our Approach

Beyond the immediate joy and comfort our therapy dogs provide, these interactions also help children and young people develop important social skills. Participating in sessions that encourage teamwork, enhance communication skills, and builds empathy. These are crucial skills that help reduce feelings of isolation in the long run by boosting confidence and making it easier for young individuals to interact with peers.
