Abstract

This study evaluated the impact that participation in sessions with children with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has on therapy dogs. Nine certified therapy dogs were paired for 6 sessions with groups of 3-4 children. Sessions consisted of 5 different activities. Activities 1 and 5 involved interactions solely with each dog and their owner, as a control. Activities 2-4 consisted of interactions with the dogs and the children which included social skills training, dog training, and reading in the company of dogs. One-zero interval sampling of stress-associated behaviors was conducted at 20-second intervals for a 10-minute duration during each of the 5 activities. At the end of each activity, heart rate was monitored, and a saliva sample was obtained for cortisol analysis. Dogs demonstrated only occasional behavioral responses and no significant findings related to cortisol or heart rate when the different activities were compared. The results indicate that with proper supervision and well-trained therapy staff, including suitable therapy dogs and their handlers, canine stress can be minimal in a therapy setting.

  • Research outcomes indicating that working salivary cortisol concentrations are similar to baseline measurements gathered on non-working days parallel previous data from Glenk et al., Ng et al. and Koda et al.

    “Research outcomes indicating that working salivary cortisol concentrations are similar to baseline measurements gathered on non-working days [13,14,15,20,22] parallel previous data from Glenk et al. [25,26], Ng et al. [27] and Koda et al. [28].”

  • Melco et al. findings do not suggest that therapy dogs were hyper-aroused by participating in repeated animal-assisted therapy sessions with a group of three to four children with ADHD.

    “Research findings by Melco et al. [20] do not suggest that therapy dogs were hyper-aroused by participating in repeated animal-assisted therapy sessions with a group of three to four children with an attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diagnosis.”

  • In Melco et al., neither the dogs' salivary cortisol levels nor heart rates showed any changes associated with therapy performance across six sessions.

    “Neither the dogs′ salivary cortisol levels nor heart rates showed any changes associated with therapy performance across six sessions.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
