Question 1

Is the therapy dog certified?

Accepted Answer

Yes — our toy poodle is fully certified as a therapy dog, health-checked regularly, and covered by public liability insurance. All visits are conducted by a qualified handler.

Question 2

What if a child is afraid of dogs?

Accepted Answer

We always introduce our poodle gently and at the child's own pace. No child is ever forced to interact. Many children who start out nervous become some of our biggest fans over time.

Question 3

How long is a typical visit?

Accepted Answer

Visit lengths vary by program — from 30-minute wellbeing sessions to 60-minute whole-class visits. We'll work with your schedule to find what works best.

Question 4

Do you visit schools outside Melbourne?

Accepted Answer

Our primary service area is Greater Melbourne but we're open to discussing visits to surrounding regions. Get in touch and we'll see what we can arrange.

Question 5

How much does a visit cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing varies depending on the program type, visit duration, and frequency. We offer flexible packages to suit different budgets. Contact us for a personalised quote.

Question 6

Do you visit other institutions such as aged care services or hospitals?

Accepted Answer

While our primary focus is schools and early childhood education services, we are open to exploring visits to other settings such as aged care facilities, hospitals, and community organisations. Every environment is assessed individually to ensure it's a safe and positive experience for both our therapy dog and the people we visit. Please get in touch to discuss your specific needs.
