Border Collies

Another highly recommended dog breed for therapy treatment is the Border Collies. How do these small dogs become such popular companions for many clients - and even receive numerous praises from psychologists and therapy experts? There are good reasons for that, of course. Overall, from our observation, Border Collies are bright and people-pleasing dogs, which gives off such an encouraging vibe for people who are suffering from a lack of confidence and trust in themselves.

If we can compare the Border Collies to a person, we would say they resemble a kid - and there is nothing kids enjoy more than mastering a new skill and getting applause for a job well done! Indeed, they are quite attention-seekers (in a good way!) and like being around others. They will build strong ties with everyone they spend significant time with.

This Border Collie breed is so loving that, if left on their own for too long, they may experience mild depression. Therefore, these dogs flourish in therapeutic settings where people give them all the treatment and attention they desire.
