One of Vanessa's natural talents is tracking. She loves using her nose to find things. This experience made me realize that we all need to look closely at our therapy dogs to find their most natural talents. Not every dog will be a whiz at retrieving a ball or shaking hands. In order to keep both of us enthusiastic about therapy work, I decided that I was the one who needed the attitude adjustment.
Every dog has a special approach to therapy work.
It's our job as handlers to both identify that skill and then to develop it as much as possible. All rights reserved Paws'itive Teams, Inc .
