Therapy Dog………?




I’m Intersted in Starting up training a thearpy dog. I know its more dependent on the persanaltly not the breed but in your guys expiernce do you feel a largier breed dog or a smaller breed dog is best? Ive heard benefits of both. Ive heard stories of little dogs being more fragile and getting dropped or something which scares me, but big dogs can only really stand by the side of the bed…but little dogs cant be squeezed and played with as Bigger dogs could by children. So i’m interested in your experience, thanks!

Dog Toys???




Does anyone have any ideas for dog toys that we can buy??? My dogs LOVE bones but they chew them for 5 mins. and they are all gone!!! So, I bought them ostrich bones and they worked for a long time but I was looking for something else. They are two big dogs so the itty bitty bones won’t work. Anybody have ideas

What is so wrong about feeding your dog beneful?




I answered a question that said what do you feed your big dogs, and I said I fed my dog Beneful and also sometimes added some wet dog food in. My rating for that question was 2 thumbs down. :/
I’m confused!

What to look for in a future therapy dog?




I would like to get a dog that with training and bonding could be used as a therapy dog in the group home i work in. I have researched the testing requirements etc but i also know that there are certain traits etc that make a dog more suitable. My question is in applying these to different pups I’m looking at. I know there are puppy personality tests, that a trainer showed me, but i would like more opinions… If I look a either a litter or a single pup, what behaviors are the most favorable for therapy when the pup matures? What breed would I best with? I would like a friendly dog that is not shy. I have a somewhat dominant personality and dont have problems reminding a pup who is the alpha. My dad whom I live with would perfer a smaller dog and I can see the postives in being able to put a small dog on a wheelchair tray or a lap. Any ideas?? I am slightly biased to big dogs, havent met many smaller dogs that arent snippy little wrenches! Any advice would be great!
