HAPPY WAGS BRINGING HEALING SMILES

Have you ever wanted to be on the giving end of smile? You and your dog can do just that, & more, by joining a Therapy program.

Dogs looking to join a Therapy Team should reliably know and follow basic obedience commands, be controllable, reliable, inspire confidence in and enjoy the attention of the people they visit. Basic obedience commands include "sit", "down", "stay", "heel", "come" and very importantly "leave it". 

Although many dogs have good manners at home, your dog must also behave in varied situations, around distractions, loud noises and around different people. Most dogs will benefit from general obedience courses before attending a Therapy class.

Dogs and physical therapy:
A new job for dogs these days involves assisting people who are going thru physical therapy. Many times the sessions and exercises are very uncomfortable for the patients. Dogs bring a certain joy that can help push them thru. Walking seems brighter with a dog at your side, stretching simpler when you are reaching for an ear to scratch, crunches are a breeze when a pooch kiss awaits.
