There are diffrent ways in nowing if your pet can be a therapy dog or not. Theaopy dogs have to be up to date on shots, alterd, housetrained, and know basic commands before thinking about your dog being a Therapy dog. Therapy dogs have to be good with kids of all ages, adults, and other animals. Your dog can not be shy and be able to sit to be petted by a stranger. Your dog has to have the patince of people getting up or down, pulling on hair, being picked up ect. Your dog can not be aggresive at ALL!!! Dont think since you have a Rottwiller that she/he cant be a therapy dog, its just how there raised and what there backgrounds are like. Dog has to be good on leash, and be able to be around crutches, wheel chairs ect. If your dog seems to be like this please start training soon. Start out by putting the lead on and making stay right at your side, even when going in very inclosed spaces and up and down stairs. Let someone ride a bike alittle way from you and your dog, and socialize them, take them to the park. If you have questions please feel free to contact me. |
