Info on being a therapy dog?

[Jill]

I think Mr. Reese-y Pants would be great with this.

I'd be interested too - I think the Professor would be great! :heartbt:

Two groups that come to mind are the Delta Society and TDI.

http://www.tdi-dog.org/

http://www.deltasociety.org/

Requirements will vary depending on the group. Often there are local groups too so maybe do a google search for other ones in your area.

Basic requirements are that your dog is patient, not easily freaked, adaptable and loves attention!!

Good links given by Courtney I'm sure you'll get plenty of info there, here's one from MA. Some groups may require a Vet evaluation and health certificate. Good luck and keep us updated.

Well, My 2 won't make it!

Casey got 1 out of 4 (loves attention). Sophie got......Well.....Let's not go there!

I'm sure that Reese and the Professor would love it!

The Professor would be perfect. He's VERY laid back (for example, if you don't hold on to him, he'll roll off your lap), very patient, not jumpy at all, and VERY cuddly. And....did I mention he's learning the Piano? :woohoo:

Tasha loves the senior ladies but would no doubt the too enthusiastic and knock them over.
