Meet Mālie: the Littleton Couples Counseling therapy dog in training
TL;DR
The practice introduces Mālie, a therapy dog puppy in training, whose name means calm or quiet in Hawaiian. The post says people will tell a dog things they would not tell a human, and the team hopes Mālie will bring calm to the therapy room. She will begin puppy training and then therapy dog training.
People will tell a dog things they would never feel comfortable telling another human. That’s why we recruited Mālie onto our team.
Mālie (may-lee-uh) in Hawaiian is to be calm or to be quiet. As our new therapy dog puppy grows into her rather large paws, we hope that she will be able to bring a sense of calm into our therapy room.
Mālie’s mother didn’t want to be a mother. Dogs can get post-partum depression, too.
Malie has been with us since she was three weeks old and will be beginning puppy training then moving on to therapy dog training.
We are glad Mālie is a new member of our team and look forward to her being able to work with you.
