Committed to establishing the most beneficial and effective
Animal-Assisted Therapy programs for health care, educational and
community settings in southeast Wisconsin.
Animal-Assisted Therapy is highly effective and motivating!
Health Heelers is a professional therapy dog service that customizes
Animal-Assisted Therapy programs to meet the specific needs of
facilities and organizations in the greater Milwaukee area.
Health Heelers utilizes specially trained and tested dogs in a safe and
structured manner to assist both disabled and non-disabled people in
the development of or growth in physical, social, emotional, academic,
cognitive and self care skills.
Health Heelers creates unique and innovative activities, lessons,
projects and events in which therapy dogs are active participants;
thoroughly engaging those that are served regardless of physical or
cognitive ability. Health Heelers therapy dog “teams” (i.e. volunteers
and their therapy dogs) undergo special training that maximizes their
skills in order to provide the greatest possible therapeutic value and
outcomes!
Health Heelers will also enhance or upgrade existing programs to bring therapy dog interactions to a whole new level.
(Teams are available to provide educational services and interactive
and entertaining presentations to schools and to community
organizations upon request).
Animal-Assisted Therapy . . .
making a difference!
