Therapy Dog in Training
Our little Marley is about to embark on a new chapter in his life. He's going to learn how to be a Therapy Dog.
Therapy Dog refers to a dog trained to provide affection and comfort to people in hospitals, retirement homes, nursing homes, mental institutions, schools, and stressful situations such as disaster areas. I ask you, what says affection and comfort more than THAT FACE!?
In order to complete his training, he'll have to earn his AKC Canine Good Citizen Certification and then be tested and evaluated by Therapy Dogs International. Once he's certified, he'll join a local organization that does visits and get to pick where he'd like to go. He really loves kids, so maybe a Children's Hospital would be a good fit...we'll see. We're all very excited about this new adventure!
