Dog Therapy Visiting has been a passion of mine for 5 years. I have 3 dogs, 2 black labs and 1 golden retriever.
Just a quick note, that dog-obedience, as in the dog arena sense is NOT required for dog therapy. Your dog needs to be responsive to you, well mannered, and of course, you dog needs to like people. Dog Training
Hi, my name is Ruth Bird. My passions are people and pet health. I am very active with dog therapy visiting. I first became involved in this work when visiting a friend in the hospital. A beautiful Golden Retriever silently walked into the room and instantly brought comfort. That was Tasha. Tasha and her owner became my mentors.
I visit regularly at 2 senior homes, with my black lab and my golden retriever. My third dog is blind, although he does not seem to realize this.
