Our Story
Hi, I'm Rodney. The co-owner & creator of Corporate Canine Therapy (CCT). Together with my business & life-partner Jane we bring you Corporate Canine Therapy. Harlow is our OG and our logo icon. CCT journey began with Harlow, my Great Dane and soul dog, who had an intuitive ability to comfort those in need...

Together, we spent six years as volunteers in canine therapy, culminating in our time at SickKids Hospital, where Harlow was honoured as Volunteer of the Year in 2018. She had a gift—knowing exactly what was needed to bring comfort and joy, especially to the most vulnerable.
While working in the field, I recognized a growing need for structured, on-site therapy dog programs in corporate and academic settings. Stress, burnout, and mental health challenges were on the rise, and I saw firsthand how the presence of therapy dogs could provide relief, connection, and emotional well-being in high-pressure environments. That realization led to the creation of Corporate Canine Therapy.
What started as a passion project for myself and co-owner Jane with just three therapy dog teams has since grown into a thriving organization, with nearly 60 teams serving Ottawa and Toronto. Our highly trained therapy dogs and handlers visit workplaces, universities, and special events, offering a proven way to reduce stress, boost morale, and foster a sense of community. We also offer Dog Yoga and SafePaws which is an education program to reduce dog bites in young children.
At the heart of CCT is Jane (co-owner), Wellness Manager, and the driving force behind our client experience. Together we ensure every event is seamless, every interaction is meaningful, and every client feels truly supported. In a small business like ours, we both wear many hats, but Jane’s dedication to personalized service and relationship-building makes all the difference.
"Corporate Canine Therapy is more than just a service—it’s a movement to bring comfort, joy, and connection to spaces that need it most. We believe in the transformative power of therapy dogs, and we’re honoured to share that with you."
We invite you to experience the difference that CCT can make. Whether you're looking to reduce stress in the workplace, support students during exams, or add a unique wellness component to an event, our therapy dogs are ready to bring warmth and calm to your space.
