Labrador Retrievers Make Good Therapists

In recent articles, a licensed professional counselor with thirty years of experience, explained how owning a Labrador retriever can help produce healthier, happier, more well adjusted children and seniors.

Dogs help children to be more physically fit.  All dogs, regardless of breed, need to be walked.  Children who take their dogs for regularly scheduled walks tend to exercise more than those who have no reason to get up off the couch and leave the TV.  The Journal of Physical Activity and  Health (2010) concluded that people who walk their dogs generally walk about an hour longer per day than non-dog walkers.  One of the reasons that I suggest retrievers when parents ask about what kind of dog is best is simply the name. If you’ll throw it, they’ll retrieve it.  The glorious thing about this fact is that they never seem to tire of the “game.”  Even babies get excited and laugh and clap their hands when the dog runs after the ball and brings it back.

A study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society in May, 1999 demonstrated that independently living seniors that have pets tend to have better physical health and mental well being than those who don’t. They’re more active, cope better with stress, and have better overall health. A 1997 study showed that elderly dog owners had significantly lower blood pressure overall than their contemporaries without them.  We have all experienced the joy of a dog wagging his tail when we approach.
