Included are informative chapters on how your dog can be trained and prepared to be a therapy dog, and practical applications of how to be more effective in Animal Assisted Therapy. Informative as well as a good "pleasure reading" book, it is written in plain language, just like a friend telling the reader stories about what happened the other day at work. Average Rating:

And the examples of how therapy dogs relate to the patients/clients are wonderful!! Rating:  - Unprofessional and UnhelpfulFrom the title of this book, I was expecting there to be more information or tips for people who have dogs working as a therapy dog. As my dog has already been through therapy dog training and certification, the section on training/certifying your dog was not helpful to me, and anyway I could have found more information on this topic online, such as at [...] or other dog training websites. The writing did not seem to have a professional feel to it, it was very short and not very interesting. ... Read More
