Delta Therapy Dogs is a national not-for-profit organisation whose mission is to promote and facilitate positive interaction between people and canine companion animals. Delta operates with one core belief: that the human-animal bond can remarkably improve our quality of life and leave a lasting paw print on our hearts. Our purpose focuses on using that bond to comfort the sick in hospitals and aged care facilities, develop more confident children, teach children about dog safety, and promote reward based training methods to develop happy and contented pets.There is a special and indescribable kinship shared between dogs and people of all ages. Attention from a dog can brighten your day, make you feel loved and, as has been scientifically proven, improve your overall health and wellbeing. We believe that a better relationship between people and dogs will lead to a more enriched and fulfilled life for humans and dogs alike. Delta delivers on its mission and vision through five core programs:Delta Therapy Dogs Program - visiting Aged Care, Hospitals and PrisonsDelta Paws the Pressure - workplace and campus stress-buster visits for employees and studentsDelta Dog Safe Program - teaching young children safe behaviour around dogsDelta Classroom Canines Program - assisting schoolchildren with confidence and literacyDelta Certificate IV in Companion Animal Services - providing vocational training for dog trainersRTO PROVIDER: 90250
