About This Pawsome Guide
I’m guessing something brought you here—maybe it’s the happiness your dog brings to you, a desire to brighten someone’s lonely day, curiosity sparked by browsing through Dogstagram, or something completely different.
You and your dog share a special bond, and while that doesn’t guarantee you’ll end up working or volunteering together, it’s definitely worth considering if becoming a therapy dog team is something both you and your pup will enjoy.
This guide includes bonus worksheets and mindset tips to help you make the best decision for you and your canine companion.
What’s inside

Being comfortable and relaxed is essential when working or volunteering together. I’ll guide you through some questions to help you find the best options and settings for you and your dog.
Training your canine partner

Choosing the perfect organization to register with
I’ll not only help you compare a few national pet therapy organizations, but also highlight key aspects of your lifestyle that may influence which organization is the best fit for you.
