Everyone, say hello to Maisie! Our newest (and fluffiest) therapy pup-in-training, who’s basically a baby polar bear disguised as a Golden Retriever. With her big paws, waggy tail, and love for cuddles, she’s already making a name for herself as the ultimate snuggle buddy.
Maisie lives with Charlotte, John, and their two boys, Jacob and Ollie. She joined the family for a very special reason—to help Jacob with his emotions. And while she’s already working her magic at home, her training will soon help other children who need a little extra comfort and companionship.
Training Update: Work in Progress!
For a little pup, Maisie’s already learned a lot! She can sit, give paw, stay, fetch, and her recall is pretty impressive. Lead training, on the other hand? Well… let’s just say it’s currently more tug-of-war than therapy dog finesse. But we’ll get there!
And the car? Not her favourite thing. But that hasn’t stopped her from getting out and about—she’s already been to school, nursery, the local shop, Pets at Home, and even the vet. Each outing is helping her grow in confidence (and she’s loving all the attention she gets along the way!).
A Natural Therapy Dog in the Making
Maisie is one of the friendliest pups you’ll ever meet. She loves people and isn’t shy about showing it—if you’re within sniffing distance, she’s coming over to say hello! Whether it’s a child needing a little extra reassurance or someone just in need of a waggy-tailed pick-me-up, Maisie’s already proving she’s got what it takes to be an amazing therapy dog.
Over the next few months, she’ll continue her training, learning how to provide emotional support to those who need it most. We just know she’s going to make a huge impact!
