| Therapy dog! Snoopy has been in a class to learn to be a therapy dog and to pass the Canine Good Citizen test. And he passed! He was so good on everything, but he would not sit or down at school unless there were treats involved, but you can't give treats during the test at all. But I guess he felt like sitting and lieing down at the proper time. Now I just have to send in the paperwork. Does anyone here do therapy work?

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Congratulations that's wonderful, I've often thought of that for Joey, I know nursing homes and some hospitals love to have little therapy dogs come to visit. At least when you are talking to him, people won't think you are nuts, you can just tell him he's a therapy dog!

I think Yorkies are perfect for this because they're non-allergenic, and can fit on someone's lap, or get picked up to say hello. And we tell Snoopy he makes the world a better place just be being in it!

| Check out tdi-dog.org. Tons of info, including where the testing is being held. You don't have to take a class, but I didn't think I could get Snoopy ready on my own.

| Congrats that is so cool for the both of you! I am wanting to possibly learn more about it, my parents own an adult foster care home and the residents love to visit with my two.

| That is so cool! And you are right about people in nursing homes. I've taken Molly in to see DH's grandmother, and had to stop with every resident that was out in the hall. People's eyes would just light up! My only problem was that Molly's nails cut Grandma's delicate skin, and I didn't even think they were long at the time. I'd like to take her back, but scared to hurt someone. Do you have any suggestions? |

| Sugar and I have been approached in our area for her to become a therapy dog. Another member of this board lives close to us and has experience in this also. We are looking forward to getting involved
