🩵Let’s talk about deep pressure therapy!🩵

DPT is a common task for a variety of disabilities. DPT can be used to activate the parasympathetic nervous system to stop a panic attack, mitigate POTS symptoms, and relieve chronic pain. DPT can be thought of as similar to a weighted blanket being on your lap. The added benifit of this being done through a service dog is the additional tactile stimulation through petting their fur, and of course, emotional support. 🦮🐾

Many times people discount small dogs from offering DPT and while we might call it LPT in that case, it still has the same potential benefit. Weighted blanket’s should be about 12% of your body weight, so in most cases a large dog is not needed for the impacts of DPT to take effect. While it may take a few moments longer to notice the effects, the smaller dog can stay longer without risk of injury to your body❤️‍🩹

Benny, one of our available dogs in training, shows off his DPT skill. He only weighs about 25lbs but can perform this skill with great success! 🩵🐾
