Have you ever wondered what to expect when volunteering as a school Therapy Dog team?
In this inaugural episode of Therapy Dog Talk, I chat with Dr. Barbara Volkatis about her Goldendoodle, Carmel, and their incredible experiences volunteering as a school Therapy Dog team through Therapy Dogs International (TDI). We dive into their journey from working with a trainer to help Carmel overcome her unruly behavior to discovering her potential as a therapy dog for children.
In this episode, we discuss …
How Barbara figured out that Carmel would have fun as a school therapy dog.
The lasting effect Carmel’s visits have on the kids she meets.
Barbara’s journey with self-publishing to spread the word about pet therapy to more teachers and parents.
