Field notes
The page separates animal-assisted therapy from animal-assisted activity, explicitly saying the visit is neither treatment nor JAHA-certified. Its cited research is presented with caveats: one result concerns an immediate change after ten minutes, while another is described as a correlation rather than evidence of cause. The visit checklist covers both staff comfort and ASH’s health, including breaks and stopping when the dog shows signs of fatigue.
