Abstract
This poster summarises a proposed mixed methods study conducted by a researcher teacher to understand the impact of a therapy dog working in a co-educational day school through two research questions: What are the social and emotional benefits of a school-wide dog-assisted wellbeing intervention for students? How does a dog-assisted wellbeing intervention influence students' motivation and affective engagement at school?
