For psychologists, taking the dog to work (a type of pet therapy) can improve the counselor-client relationship by encouraging a social and emotional connection. Clients also benefit from this type of pet therapy; the unconditional love and warmth of a happy dog can help them feel relaxed and accepted. These factors combine to improve the counseling session — and results of therapy — for both client and therapist.
