Meet Potato – My Therapy Dog in Training


Potato is a sweet and gentle therapy dog in training who joins our therapy sessions, offering comfort, warmth, and a calming presence. With her soft fur and soulful eyes, Potato has a natural ability to bring ease into the room, helping clients feel more relaxed and supported as they navigate their healing journey.


Research has shown that therapy dogs can significantly enhance the therapeutic process. Studies indicate that the presence of a therapy dog can reduce stress and anxiety, lower blood pressure, and increase levels of oxytocin—a hormone associated with bonding and emotional well-being. Clients often find it easier to open up in sessions when a therapy dog is present, as the nonjudgmental and comforting nature of a dog can create a sense of safety and connection.


Potato is still learning the ropes, but her gentle nature and loving presence already make a meaningful impact. Whether she’s resting quietly by your side or offering a friendly nuzzle, she’s here to provide extra support on your path to growth and healing.
