Therapy Dogs: Training Your Dog to Reach Others

Kathy Davis' book is wonderful!I am using it, along with one or two others, to train my own Therapy Dog for my office and local hospitals and nursing homes. (Feel free to visit at [...])I think that Ms. Davis was right to structure her book in such a complete manner, including such topics as how to choose a dog that might be good at this kind of work, what constitutes a good therapy dog visit, safety tips, training and handling techniques, the benefits of therapy dogs, and the list goes on!Well written and sober, for those who are wanting to do the real thing out there!Be well,Dr. Ferraioli[...]Author, "Cobwebs And Ugly Wallpaper"

This book gave a lot of helpful incites as I prepare to test my 2 dogs for Therapy work. I have recommended it to others who are also interested in Dog Therapy work. So if your new to this, this is a good informative read.

This book has helped my husband and me train our corgi to behave, and be nice to others. We are training our dog to be a therapy dog to help the public in a positive way. Training is in the back of the book while knowledge about the laws of owning a therapy dog are in the front. These are important.

If you plan to train you dog to be a Therapy Dog, this book is great. It covers just about anything that you will need to know! It is a bit lengthy, but is complete. It will give some ideas whether you want to proceed with your dog's training for this work. Therapy dogs are wonderful animals for others to love.

This is a great book for someone who has no background or information at all about what therapy dogs do. I was looking for more instructional rather than informational.It provides a very comprehensive overview of therapy dogs tasks, how to your foot in the door of the therapy community and what to expect when u are there.

A must read for anyone wanting to get into therapy work with their dogs. Very informative. Walks you through the whole procedure for an easy look at what traits a therapy dog should have, and what they need to know, along with insight on what the owner needs to know about what is expected from them.

I haven't read it completely yet but it does appear to me as this is a really usefull guide for therapy dog owners, specially for those who like me are just getting started. Highly reccomendable.

Thank goodness for this book. I wanted to have my dog and I visit people in hospitals and other facilities; I thought we were ready, but I now know we have some work to do before we are actually ready to visit others.

I bought this book for a friend of mine who wanted to get her dog involved in this type of training, she found it interesting and would recommend it to anyone that wanted to do the same with their dog

Ok

Good book & Seller
