Therapy Dogs

Dog lovers and especially an individual's love for their own dog, I'm sure at some point has considered getting their dog a therapy jacket so they can take their dog with them everywhere they go. I admit I've wished I could take my dog with my everywhere and wondered if there's any disabilities I could conjure up. But, in all honesty, don't do it. It's illegal. ha ha

With that being said, as a dog trainer, I am going to look into becoming a therapy dog trainer. The thing I love most about dog training is how helpful it is for the owner. Sometimes the dog isn't the problem at all. Some owners simply don't know how to handle a dog, what to do with their particular breed, and they certainly don't understand the way a dog's mind works. I love being the one who comes into a home with wild, disobedient dogs and showing the owners how they can be the alpha dog of their pack, as well as teaching them how their dog can work for them, not against them.

I think it is because of this that I'm interested in therapy dogs. Thinking about someone with an actual disability in need of man's best friend is exactly what I'm here for. I would get to spend a lot of time with my favorite breeds of dogs (mostly), and best of all re-homing those dogs with someone who is really in need.
