Pet partners Selecting Dogs with Therapy Animal Potential: Assessing Aptitude from the Start
One of the biggest challenges for aspiring therapy dog handlers is selecting a dog with the right temperament for the work. Therapy dogs shouldn’t simply tolerate their role—they should genuinely enjoy it. This depends less on training and more on the dog’s natural personality and preferences.
In this session, we’ll share insights gathered from professionals and volunteers around the world to help you recognize early signs of therapy animal potential. Whether you’re working with a breeder, exploring rescue options, or selecting from your own litter, we’ll offer practical strategies for identifying the qualities that lead to successful and sustainable therapy dog partnerships.
