Remedy Ranch Aussiedoodles

In a few years, after my clinical license is obtained, I will be able to fulfill my biggest goal of becoming an independent Animal-Assisted Therapist. I cannot wait to incorporate my Aussiedoodles into therapy sessions and provide counseling to therapy and service dog seekers throughout the process.

Credentials aside, I’ve had my own struggles and hardships; the journey to become the person I am today has taken a lot of strength and help from others. I whole-heartedly believe in the power of counseling as it was the work of a skilled counselor and my willingness to change that helped turned my life around. My faith and relationship with God has played a key role in my process but do know that I respect all belief systems and agnostics. The adversity that I have endured allows me to relate and empathize with individuals on many different levels.

Equivalent to that, I believe in animals, especially dogs. I’ve always owned a dog and no matter what I’ve went through my dogs have always been there for me with unconditional love. The forgiveness and relentless love of my dogs have helped heal my soul and I am so excited to help pass this gift onto others.

Dogs show they can have lasting effects on our mental health. Dogs can simply sense the hormone changes (known as cortisol) that occur in us human companions when under stress. Stress is the root cause for most mental and medical issues and when dogs are properly rewarded for attending to our needs, they can learn to be there for us before we even know we need them. And when this occurs our feel good hormones (known as oxytosin and dopamine) are released. Studies show that this reaction often leads to greater productivity, increased drive to exercise, greater comprehension, and overall feelings of contentment. Additionally, studies show that dogs can reduce high blood pressure, help with anxiety, depression, autism and an array of behavioral, personality, and mental health disorders.

Certified therapy and service dogs can be incredibly difficult to afford, as insurance needs a lot of justification to assist in paying for one. Unfortunately, a certified therapy or service dog can never be justified with insurance without a confirmed mental health disability diagnoses that inhibits one from working and succeeding without it.

Many of us are simply undiagnosed, or functioning at a high enough level to be successful, but at the end of the day so many of us are self-medicating and uncomfortable. In a world full of chaos, stress, and over-committed individuals with not enough time in the day for self care, a dog lending emotional support can be everything that keeps us together.

We’ve done our research and invested our time in raising parents that will produce the best tempered and beautiful Aussiedoodle puppies around (in our humble opinion). Research and genetics 🧬 show that dispositions are passed down and genetics play a strong role in how a dog turns out. Every dog will have its own personality but if the dog is properly nurtured, socialized, trained & desensitized to many different things, research shows a dog from good lineage can be capable of service work (as long as a trauma does not occur which changes brain functioning). It all comes down to nature and nurture, we encourage you to do your research and always pick puppies from parents that have proven themselves worthy of being bred.
