Hello everyone, and welcome back to another episode of Dog Sense! 🙌

Today, Sarah and I (plus our superguest, Stacey Samela 😎), will be discussing a subject near and dear to our hearts: Therapy dogs!

Therapy dogs are amazing! And if you've been thinking about training your best friend to become one, then you're in the right place. 🤩

You might be asking yourself questions like, "Can my dog become a therapy dog?", "How can I train him to become one?", or even "Is my dog right for this?"

After all, you can't just take your dog to a school or a nursing home for a visit and call it a day. 🤷

Therapy dogs need specific training that takes time and a lot of patience. 💪

So, if you'd like to do some good with your canine best friend, but don't know where to start, tune in now! 🎧

Ready? Let's dive in!
