Becoming a Therapy Dog
There are virtually no restrictions on the type of breeds that can become therapy dogs. The main requirement is that a dog have a very calm and soothing temperament. Organizations like Delta Society and Therapy Dogs International is responsible for testing and evaluating thousands of dogs every year. Dogs are tested to see how they behave around people in certain situations. Dogs must also be able to remain calm around people that use wheelchairs or crutches. Most therapy dogs are normal house pets that do not require any formal training.Therapy Dogs International, Inc.: An Overview -
