Therapy
Dogs provide comfort and joy to people who live or must
stay in a care facility. Regardless of how residences look
or feel,
the dogs are happy to see them.
Therapy
Dogs often achieve things that the use of drugs cannot. It
has been proven that through petting and talking to animals,
patient's blood pressure is lowered, shyness is relieved,
and
depression is eased. Not to mention the smiles the dogs receive.
All
dogs that are social,healthy,consistant with basic skills
and are
at least 1 year of age are eligible to be tested for TDI (Therapy
Dogs
International) certification. Participation in any type of
training class
is not a requirement.
