Life at school isn’t easy, and at the Linden Lodge School in Wimbledon, children have a variety of learning difficulties. For children with special conditions, it can be daunting to learn since they don’t function like the others who normally do. So, the school decided to bring therapy dogs to attend classes with the children.

The reason why dogs reduce anxiety in learning is that their calming presence promotes the release of oxytocin in the brain. When the hormone is released, the nervous system calms down which makes learning more likely to take place.

Because of the dogs, there has been a significant increase in student attendance and performance. The students were more motivated to learn and had a better relationship with their peers and teachers.
