Orca is Elaine’s therapy dog. She is a collie-poodle cross and is extremely friendly.
She has been trained at Little Orchard Dog Training, and has several Kennel Club certificates, including her Silver Good Citizen Award.
She is a registered PAT dog, through Pets as Therapy. She loves a tummy tickle and her favourite food is cheese.
Orca can come and be part of the playroom, or spend the session in her crate, depending on what a child wants for any given session.
If your child has an aversion to dogs, Orca can be kept safely away, but if your child is allergic to dogs, it is strongly suggested that they see another therapist, as Orca will have been in the play room and your child needs to be kept safe.
