All dogs benefit from socializing.
However, therapy dogs also need to develop social skills to enable them to develop the art of interacting and communicating with people. Whenever you take your dog to some of the places listed below, remember to use the opportunity to work on commands and appropriate behavior while at the same time encouraging people to interact. Actually seek out people who might look different to your dog. You will see your level of control improve with each outing. This will essentially teach your dog the difference between waiting patiently at your side and greeting a stranger.
