Does your dog or cat love love??? Are they friendly and confident in new places? And are you looking for a way to give back to your community??

We are seeking more therapy animal teams to go out into the community! The demand is getting higher for therapy animal visits. 😍

PM us if you're interested or have any questions!

How's your dog's recall?? Especially around distractions. 👀 Here's one example of a task we will ask you and your dog to do during an evaluation.

✅️ Switch your dog to a long-line without letting them off leash

✅️ The evaluator will pet your dog while you walk away

✅️ You'll recall your dog to you

We are looking to see that your dog is still focused on you and will go to you even with the most exciting distractions around. 😊

Thank you Give a Dog a Bone Photography for capturing Rosie & Gemma nailing this exercise!

Visiting and snuggling a real live therapy dog is one way to benefit from animal-assisted intervention.... but there are so many more options!

Can't bring a therapy dog into your location?? Or you have had one before & are looking to expand the experience? Try something like this!

👉 Bring up photos of a therapy dog and create a discussion about the dog. What do they look like? How can you imagine their personality? Or if you have met them, what are they like??

👉 Bring in stuffed animal versions of therapy dogs you have visited before or want to visit

👉 Have a visit through a window or via Facetime

👉 Have a visit in the parking lot of a facility if the facility is unable to accomodate animals indoors

There are so many ways animals can benefit people. It's proven by science 🤓

Sneak peak at an evaluation task you'll be asked to do if you evaluate with your dog! (This task does not apply to cats).

✅️ You'll switch your dog to a long line without ever having your dog off leash

✅️ You'll ask your dog to sit or lay down

✅️ You'll walk to the end of the lead & your dog will stay

✅️ You'll then recall your dog to you!

You'll do this task a second time, but while the evaluator is petting your dog as an added distraction.

Shadow here is such a sweet guy! He rocked his evaluation this past weekend ❤️

Bared teeth doesn't always mean the dog is angry 😅 Take sweet Mio here for example! Mio is an excellent therapy dog... & he smiles! ❤️

We take into consideration all other body language when observing a dog. Mio here LOVES people and attention & smiles for more.

Exam stress, be gone! 💨 Check out this cute little compilation of a visit at our local college, Northwestern Polytechnic ❤️

Therapy dog Kratos had a great visit during exam season this spring. We think he did a fabulous job reducing the pre-exam jitters!
