My dogs Chezka (Berta z vlei chaloupky) and (Crying wolf) Karlik are not official certificated therapy dogs, but we use them very often in groups with difficult young people. They make for example contact with "the "un reachenable" ones. They give also calming signals in the group, they want to be hugged by very shy aso. A lot of these young people did tell these dogs are the most importent for them in world
And it is amazing to see on how many mobilephones their picture is in the backround
We also have experience with autistic kids. And it is amazing to see how woldogs (saarloos and CsW) behave with these kids and make contact with them.
I think a lot of people don't realise how sensitive wolfdogs are!
Oebie Kadir van de Ursidae-Stee does the same in Holland as Alistair Wolf z Peronowki
She was several times on schools to show "wolves" are not bad animals
