Description

Curious why a future Therapy Dog in Seattle first focused on becoming a skateboarder and certified Trick Dog?

In this 21st episode of Therapy Dog Talk, I chat with Hailey and her rescue dog, Darrel, as they work towards becoming a certified therapy dog team in Seattle. We dive into their unique journey, where they first focused on trick training and skateboarding before moving on to therapy dog training.

In this episode, we discuss …

• Why Hailey decided to focus on trick training as a precursor to Therapy Dog training.
• How Hailey tries to make each piece of their day intentional for their focus work and training goals.
• How the journey to Therapy Dog is not as linear or flawless as we often perceive it to be.
