Svea is a large and cozy Berner sleeping dog that with its calm way can make children and young people relax and concentrate more easily. Toby, the studded Border collie, helps to bring up the pace and is happy to invite you to play.

Both are trained for educational service dogs and work on the child rehabilitation at the hospital in Halmstad.

Removed due to allergic risk

Target group is children, adolescents and adults with motor disabilities, intellectual disabilities and people with neuropsychiatric disabilities. Disabilities that can affect the ability to move, see, hear, understand, perceive the outside world or relate to other people. Here the specially trained dogs can help.

Now, however, the dogs must not remain in service on habilitation anymore. The National Board of Health and Welfare's rules do not allow dogs in a health care environment because there is an allergy risk.

See in the clip how the dogs work. (The kids in the clip are borrowed extras.)
