How To Become A Successful Volunteer Therapy Dog Team With Your Own Dog
Are you looking for something new to do with your dog? Perhaps your dog loves people and is naturally gentle so you would like them to meet more people?
Why not consider therapy dog volunteer work?
The benefits of canine companionship are particularly clear for those of us who are blessed to be joined by dogs in our home. Our dogs are part of our family and are often there to provide comfort when we need it the most. However, some people are not able to be a guardian of their own dog, they may be in care home or unable to afford to look after a companion. They are unable to benefit from the comfort and joy that a dog can bring. But that is where our therapy dog volunteers come into play and where they really can make a difference.
Join Anna Jane Brehaut as she teaches you how to prepare as a professional therapy dog team, always with welfare in mind.
