- A Therapy Dog is one with a temperament that is friendly , patient, and outstanding overall.
- A Therapy Dog has a desire to visit with people, loves children, and interacts with other animals well.
- Therapy Dogs also interact with other dogs they encounter in positive ways.
Therapy Dogs must be on-leash obedience trained and remain under control while presenting excellent behavior. Therapy dogs are social, interacting with people in a positive manner. They enjoy being touched, petted, and held if appropriate. They also have the ability to stay calm in situations that are new and may involve a number of distractions. Therapy Dogs come from a variety of breeds; there is no, 'perfect,' breed or mix of breeds that make the best Therapy Dogs.
