Meet MANGO!
She is a 10 week old Hungarian Vizsla who belongs to our head of PE here Mr Veares.
Mango is set to become our Hornchurch High School Wellbeing dog so is on site today to socialise with some of the children and start becoming accustomed to life on site.
Mango is the puppy of a current wellbeing dog; this breed lends itself to being caring and affectionate and often gets nicknamed ‘Velcro Vizsla’ due to the breeds friendly and attentive nature.
She is currently being trained and in 2 weeks has already mastered Sit, Wait, Down and Settle, she will continue her training with the long term goal of being here on site 5 days a week and working with our wellbeing team for 1-1 sessions focusing on things like calmness and anxiety and sit and listen sessions for literacy.
She is also going to be a welcome member of the team for the staff here at Hornchurch High who are already lining up to take her for walks during breaks in the day.
