25.01.2022 If you're interested in AAP and opening up a world of possibilities as a clinical professional, look no further than Therapy Dogs Australia #therapydoglife #therapydogsaustralia #getstarted #greatidea

23.01.2022 Remember everyone experiences things differently. Even if we don't understand their experiences the best thing we can do is to listen. Listen to hear their experience. Listen to hear their emotion. Listen to show we care. #Rufusthetherapydog #therapydoglife #validation

22.01.2022 Because any time together is still quality time

21.01.2022 Deciding whether your child is ready to start prep is a HUGE decision for many parents, particularly with societal and school pressure making parents feel like their kids SHOULD be starting school, even if their gut feeling is that their child might not be ready. If you're unsure whether your child is prep-ready, here is one way to find out...

21.01.2022 Great to see more and more research supporting the use of animals to help people manage their emotions. #therapydoglife #wontquitmydayjob #evidencebased

21.01.2022 Even Rufus understands the importance of self-care. After spending time with clients, he likes to unwind with a nice walk and play on the grass. He knows that if he takes care of himself, he'll be better at taking care of others #therapydog #timetorelax #sunshine

21.01.2022 My kind of thinking #therapydoglife #loveacuddle #freehugs

21.01.2022 Remember we can still show love at Christmas without breaking the bank. Archie wants time to nap and Rufus wants quality time. What do you want for Christmas? #therapydoglife #keepitsimple

20.01.2022 Boundary setting is an important skill for all dogs to learn, as it helps them learn what rooms they can enter or exit without supervision (i.e. the therapy room). Rufus and his handler have decided to use duct tape to help him learn the boundary line #therapydog #dontcrosstheline #freeme

19.01.2022 Sometimes all you need to do when a friend is down is to simply check in #therapydoglife #RUOK #buddiesforlife

19.01.2022 Acts of Service - is another of the 5 love languages. For these people, actions speak louder than words. Doing something for them or giving them a paw means more than a kind word or a gift. Rufus loves lending a paw to help during reading time #therapydoglife #actsofservice #lovelanguages #howdoyoushowlove

17.01.2022 The evidence is clear, time outdoors and participating in outdoor activities, can lead to a variety of positive mental health outcomes, with improvements in well-being, resilience, and cognition, and decreased symptoms of anxiety, stress, and depression. #therapydoglife #belikeRufus #schoolholidays

17.01.2022 Sometimes we need someone to simply be there. Not to fix anything, or do anything in particular but just to let us feel cared for and supported #therapydog #igotyourback

16.01.2022 Every day we should be able to ask R U OK? Because you never know which day it'll mean the most to someone #RUOK

16.01.2022 While the holidays can be filled with excitement, remember to take it easy. Find time to engage in self-care and reenergise for the new year #selfcare #therapydoglife #afternoonsnooze #holidays

16.01.2022 To some people (and dogs) nothing means more than an appropriate touch. Physical touch is only one of the 5 ways people communicate and receive emotional love. It can reinforce a positive behaviour or be a display of affection. Rufus loves receiving a pat from the kids he sees #therapydoglife #pleasesircanihavesomemore #thatsthespot #goodboy

14.01.2022 Time out is not a punishment but a learning tool, aimed to teach kids to leave a situation when they can't stay calm. Even Rufus gets a time out if he can't regulate and makes poor choices #therapydoglife #BeCalmBeSmart #teachingopportunity

14.01.2022 Rufus is super excited to start another year and see all his friends again at Redlands Psychologists #2018 #bringiton #therapydoglife

13.01.2022 Finding a way to connect with nature and do some exercise can be a great way to boost mood and reduce anxiety. Archie loves going for a swim at the beach or in the river.

13.01.2022 Meet Archie, our newest therapy dog in training!

11.01.2022 Sometimes a client needs a little bit of extra support and Rufus is always ready to step in #therapydog #you'vegotafriendinme #ahelpingpaw #sessionwork

11.01.2022 Merry Christmas from the Redlands Therapy Dogs

09.01.2022 Researchers from The University of Queensland are seeking children with ASD (level 1 or 2) aged 4-6 years, who aren't fearful of dogs, to participate in a study... that will investigate the benefits of including therapy dogs in occupational therapy sessions.

09.01.2022 If you're exhausted from the business of the summer holidays but also dreading the reality of the new school year - REMEMBER simply being present is often enough! #qualitytime #giveenough #redlandstherapydogs

06.01.2022 Rufus has learnt that exercise can be as effective in treating depression as medication. Regular exercise boosts the amount of happy brain chemicals AND triggers the growth and connection of new brain cells. #staffysmile #therapydoglife #getyourgamefaceon

06.01.2022 Back to school can be a stressful time for kids, with high levels of anxiety for both new and old students. Rufus' advice is always make the new students feel welcome and enjoy the moments with old and new friends #therapydoglife #2018 #backtoschool

05.01.2022 We couldn't agree more but sometimes you can be extra lucky and get a four legged therapist who comes with a bonus fully trained psychologist #therapydoglife #redlandspsychologists

05.01.2022 Let others know you truly care this Valentines Day, not with gifts but with the art of listening and being present #therapydoglife #showthelove #willyoubemyvalentines

04.01.2022 "Therapy dogs can help ease symptoms of ADHD in kids". http://ht.ly/pDah30l5ocZ

04.01.2022 Receiving gifts is another Love Language. Don't mistake this for materialism. A gift or gesture can be the perfect visual representation of love. Rufus is so lucky to have clients who are willing to show their love through gift giving #therapydoglife #itsahamburger #lovedinseconds #alloverthecarpet

04.01.2022 Remember to recharge the batteries these school holidays with a bit of self-care and quality time with friends and family #theblueboys #therapydoglife #selfcare #holidaytime

03.01.2022 School holidays are almost finished but Rufus knows how important it is to use this time to relax and unwind with friends. You're better able to look after others, if you can look after yourself! Make sure you use this time for friends and family #therapydog #doglife #newbestfriend #enjoyingmydayoff

03.01.2022 Rufus knows yoga is excellent for promoting mental and emotional well-being but sometimes he still needs a little motivation #vegemite #therapydoglife #vegemitekid #yoga #dogonholiday #downwarddog
