💛 EVERY THERAPY DOG HAS A STORY… AND THIS IS WHERE CORY’S BEGAN! ✨

Before the visits, the cuddles and the smiles, there was the training! 🐾

Cory’s journey started with the foundations — learning to walk calmly on a loose lead, building focus, developing confidence and learning how to work alongside his handler.

Loose lead training isn’t just about walking nicely. It’s about trust, communication, patience and teamwork. And these little steps help build the skills needed for the amazing work therapy dogs go on to do!

Every journey starts somewhere, and Cory’s is a beautiful reminder that great animal assistance dogs aren’t just born — they learn, grow and develop through time, training and love. ✨

LONELINESS AT CHRISTMAS — SOMETIMES, A PAW CAN MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE ❤️

Christmas is often described as the most wonderful time of the year, but for many people, it can be one of the loneliest. 💔

For older adults living alone, those missing loved ones, or anyone who feels isolated during the festive season, Christmas can bring feelings of sadness, loneliness and a longing for connection.

At Therapy Paws UK, we believe that nobody should have to face those feelings alone. 🐾❤️

Sometimes, you don’t need lots of words or grand gestures. Sometimes, you just need a friendly face, a wagging tail, a gentle nudge and a little unconditional love. ✨

🐾 Meet Frankie and Leah!

Frankie and Leah are proudly serving Plymouth and the surrounding areas, bringing the comfort, companionship and joy of therapy dog visits to those who could benefit from a little extra love this Christmas.

Whether it’s a visit to a care home, a community setting or a more personal session, our therapy dog visits can offer:
❤️ Comfort and companionship
🐾 A friendly face and a wagging tail
💬 Opportunities for conversation and shared memories
😊 Moments of joy, connection and emotional wellbeing
🎄 A little extra warmth during what can be a difficult time of year

And sometimes, the magic happens in the smallest moments — a smile, a gentle stroke, a memory shared or simply feeling less alone.

You can request Frankie and Leah for a visit this Christmas and help us spread a little festive kindness, one paw at a time. 🐾🎅

1:1 CHILD-LED WELLBEING SESSIONS WITH THERAPY PAWS UK

Sometimes, children need a little extra time, a safe space, and a furry friend who listens without judgement.

At Therapy Paws UK, our 1:1 child-led wellbeing sessions are all about putting the child at the heart of the experience.

Every child is unique, and every session is too.

Working alongside our specially trained therapy dog teams, children are encouraged to explore their feelings, build confidence and develop emotional wellbeing at their own pace.

✨ Our sessions can support children to:
💛 Build confidence and self-esteem
🐾 Develop trust and positive connections
🌿 Explore emotions in a calm, supportive environment
😊 Practise emotional regulation and coping strategies
🗣️ Develop communication and social skills
💙 Feel heard, valued and understood

Child-led means following the child's interests, needs and comfort levels.** Whether they want to talk, play, learn about dogs, practise gentle interactions or simply enjoy spending time alongside a therapy dog, we meet them where they are.

There is no pressure to talk, no expectation to perform and no one-size-fits-all approach.

Just time, connection and the opportunity to grow.

Our sessions can be tailored to support children who may experience anxiety, low confidence, emotional difficulties or additional needs, including SEND.

📍 Available through Therapy Paws UK in schools, educational settings and other appropriate environments.

SERVING:

Because sometimes, the most meaningful conversations begin with a paw.
