therapy dog. breeds. help?




hello, i have always wanted a therapy dog. i have two dogs now but one is a bit fearful of strangers after an accident she had when she was younger and got hit by a car. and the other one is getting older and has a temperament toward younger kids with high voices and other dogs. so i am looking into getting a younger dog (under a yr is tht good?) or a little puppy. i want to know which dog breeds are good for therapy dogs. and i know that it depends how they are raised and trained. but also how the breed is whether they are a family dog or not. so i would like to know which breeds are good with people, and get along with other animals, and that i will be able to train to be a good therapy dog. (i am okay with a little challenge in training, but nothing out of control.) and also what are the requirement for a therapy dog as far as getting along with ppl? and other dogs? and anything else?? thanks in advance!
i would like a medium – large+ breed. and i definately do plan on looking up more, this means alot to me. i just want sort of ideas to look into. thank you all.
rotten rotts… i know that they need to get along people and dogs, i put that in as example of my requirements..i was asking what else besides that.. i have trained my dogs and outer family dogs. i know how to train a dog with good ol obedience

Do you have a dog that aids you in your mobility? How has he/she helped you the most? What are things that the dog does that helps you out the most? What kind of harness do you use?

Therapy Dog Questions & Locations.?




i have a question similar to this one.
i want my dog to become a therapy dog. like taking her to various hospitals or nursing homes for peoples enjoyment. ive looked at some therapy dog websites, but it all seems a bit confusing. if u could find a therapy dog website that’s easy to understand please tell me. also a lot of the therapy dog organizations are not in my location. i live in southern California. if an evaluater could drive over to my house to evaluate the requirements for my dog to become a therapy dog, that’d be great. or to drive somewhere close by. if there’s a therapy dog organization close to me, that’d be wonderful. if you want anymore information about what i’m talking about go to my profile for my email and email me.

-thank you for all of your answers!

Therapy dog/Service dog?




My 14 yr old autistic son was just granted a,’therapy dog’ by his physician. Is this not a service dog? It’s not just a companion. Can I get her trained as a service dog? I’m confused; the paperwork states, ‘therapy dog’. Can you help us?
Thanks in advance!
