Take him along when you go places that allow dogs. The more exposure he has to things outside your house and yard will develop his confidence. This includes meeting lots of people and other dogs - therapy dogs often work in teams, so he needs to be comfortable around other friendly dogs. Start basic obedience training. Look at the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certificate program on AKC's website. The CGC is a minimum requirement for most therapy dog programs. After he is a year old, you can test with him for therapy dog certification. There are several organizations who do this - google therapy dogs for more info.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11354659358121622498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-109141998070729279.post-91108143355910654192010-01-25T22:06:19.488-05:002010-01-25T22:06:19.488-05:00I would love for him to be a therapy dog....I am c...I would love for him to be a therapy dog....I am clueless.
