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.

Having a dog helps teach responsibility to children.  Caring for a dog takes a great deal of responsibility.  Children learn to be less focused on themselves and more patient with others.  Responsibility is a key factor in leadership development in children, and one of the best ways of learning responsibility is in the home with the family dog.  Being responsible for a dog teaches children valuable life lessons. The lessons that children learn from having a dog are priceless and may just help in being successful in life and in a career.

Dogs encourage their owners to go outdoors and get involved in more physical activity.  A dog as sedentary as a lap dog can also help to greatly help to improve the health of their senior citizen owners as taking care of a pet dog involves a fair amount of physical activity.  With the progress of medical science, the concept of therapy dogs has come into prominence. Studies have found that activities such as petting the dogs can lower heart rate and blood pressure, release feel good hormones such as endorphins and most importantly help the older people to gain a new view of  life.
