The Heart Behind Wingoo
Wingoo was created from a belief that dogs can bring people together in a way that little else can.
After years of volunteering with therapy dogs and seeing first-hand how animals help people connect, relax and smile, I wanted to create something that combined wellbeing, confidence and fun.
Meet the Wingoo Crew
WINNIE
Winnie the Poodle (Standard) The Empath and facilitator of the team
Winnie is the calm, thoughtful soul of the Wingoo crew. She has a gentle, intuitive way with people and often seems to notice when someone needs a little extra softness or reassurance.
Although she brings a steady, comforting presence to confidence sessions, Winnie also has a wonderfully adventurous side. In her free time, she loves climbing, exploring tunnels and splashing about in water, she is very much a water babe.
She is ideal for gentle confidence-building work because she can be calm and reassuring, while still being full of personality, fun and joy.
Goose
Goose is a miniature poodle and the energizer of the team
Goose is the playful heart of our office visits. A rescue dog with a Bronze Scent Training Certificate and therapy-dog experience, he loves interactive games, meeting new people and bringing smiles to workplaces..
Guided by Compassion
Wingoo was founded on the principle that the simple presence of a dog can transform a stressful environment into one of joy and connection. With a background in therapy dog volunteering, we bring a specialized understanding of how to facilitate interactions that are as meaningful as they are memorable. Every visit is crafted with care, ensuring that both our four-legged team members and our human clients have a positive, empowering experience.
Meet the Human Behind Wingoo
Hello, I’m Zoë. My journey with Wingoo is fueled by a lifelong passion for the unique bond between humans and canines. Having spent years witnessing how a wagging tail can instantly shift the atmosphere of a room, I founded this business to share that magic with others. Whether it’s facilitating meaningful interactions in a busy workplace through The Office Experience or providing a compassionate approach for those seeking more Confidence & Comfort around dogs, my mission is to nurture well-being and genuine human connection. Every session I host is carefully tailored to ensure a safe, joyful, and authentic environment where both the people and the dogs can truly thrive. We focus on meaningful impact, creating lasting memories that go far beyond a simple visit.
