Henry is a Golden Doodle.
Rosie is a certified AKC Newfoundland.
My hope is to be able to train both dogs to become therapy dogs. Students seem to be struggling more with academics and with socio-emotional needs. Therapy dogs can be a great way to tackle these issues.
For schools, how great would it be to offer an elective on Therapy Dog Training. Students and teacher can work hand in hand to develop the dog's skills culminating in completing all the testing. Not only is it an achievement for the students, but a benefit to the whole school!
