Activity description

Through the interactive session with therapy dogs, students can experience the joy of animal companionship, relieve emotional pressure, and enhance their overall mental well-being.

Activity highlight

15 students attended the session. The instructor introduced therapy dog basics and body language, followed by petting, feeding, and an obstacle course. Students also learned to give commands, feeling thrilled and accomplished when the dogs responded. Club committee members provided safety reminders and guidelines beforehand. With proper guidance, students from different grades engaged fully in a safe, warm, and relaxing environment.

Playing "Musical Pass" with the therapy dog: When the music had stopped, the student opened the treat ball for the therapy dog ​​to enjoy a treat.

Purpose behind this activity

We hope students enjoyed a well-deserved break after their exams. Through the warm companionship of therapy dogs, we aim to encourage students to release emotional and academic stress, promoting long-term mental resilience and healthy living.
