Why Leo, our kelpie is more than just a dog.
If you’ve been to our studio, chances are you’ve met Leo, our beloved kelpie. He’s not just a furry companion; he’s a vital part of our space and community.
Leo has this magical way of brightening everyone’s day. Whether it’s his wagging tail at the door or the way he quietly sits by during a session, his presence has a calming and uplifting effect. Clients often share how seeing Leo instantly puts them in a better mood, especially on tougher days. And if he’s not around? The first question is always, “Where’s Leo?”
But Leo’s role goes beyond being adorable. Science backs up what we feel every day—having a dog is incredibly beneficial for our health:
- Boosts Mood: Dogs like Leo increase levels of serotonin and dopamine, the “feel-good” chemicals in our brain.
- Encourages Movement: Whether it’s a quick stretch to pet him or a stroll after a workout, Leo reminds us to stay active.
- Lowers Stress: Spending time with a dog is proven to reduce stress hormones, helping us feel more relaxed.
Leo is a reminder of the little things that make life better. His energy, loyalty, and love have become part of the studio’s heartbeat. For us—and for many clients—he’s more than just a dog; he’s a source of joy, connection, and even inspiration.
So next time you’re in, don’t forget to say hi to Leo. He’ll be there, tail wagging, ready to brighten your day.
