    Dogs, like kids, go through developmental stages! You have to build skills and practice! Having the time to practice means using everyday life as a series of teaching moments. Because our dogs were formally trained and certified as service animals, the therapy training didn't really require CGC assistance but I would recommend it for every pet.

      We agree! The CGC is such an awesome set of skills to have and with basic obedience training really makes for such a well behaved pup. I’d love to see every dog earn theirs!
      I love the idea of incorporating training into every day life too. We heard that as an idea very early on and it really stuck with me. Less of a “to do” and more of just life! And it’s so important to keep up on it, even as they grow up. We definitely saw that Nash needed to brush up on his skills after quarantine! 😂

    Thanks for sharing this information. It gives me a lot better idea what to look for in the temperament of a dog. We are still trying to decide on a breed and size for our next dog. I’m leaning towards smaller so that as an older couple, we can handle getting her in and out of our car easier. I think it would help with bed patients as well in nursing homes and hospitals.

      Thanks so much for watching Barbara! We're so glad this series helped! I'm so excited for y'all to get started on your therapy dog journey! Little pups are definitely easier to get in and out of the car! :)

    My dog I tell you is a very smart dog. He gets excited and and barks at people in our neighborhood then he’ll turn around and when he sees my neighbors kid who has a disability he’ll go over to him and be calm and and sweet and he’ll let him let him. I think he senses his disability and then both of them are calm. I have never seen anything like it when my dog did that. He’s a very good dog. He comforted my mom when she was dying too! Thank you both so much for all this information. This is good to know.
