It's super important that Therapy Dogs never jump up on people. It's a skill that's hard for just about every dog who wants to say hi. ๐Ÿ• But Therapy Dog In Training Winston has mastered the art of sitting politely while getting pets. ๐Ÿ’™ He loves to hear what a good boy he is and his good manners are appreciated by everyone who says hi to him. โค๏ธ

08/14/2024

We know it's hard to believe, but some people don't want to say hi to a dog. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ So we train dogs in our Therapy Dog Training Program to ignore people who ignore them, even when the person is in their personal space. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ Therapy Dog In Training Winston shows how it's done with the help of Volunteer Assistant Joe. ๐Ÿพ

Mario needed help with a very common issue - door dashing. ๐Ÿ’จ His Border terrier, Sol, needed to learn patience and self-control, which doesn't come naturally to a terrier. ๐Ÿคฃ Trainer Sorcha used the interior doors at the Gainesville Canine Academy training facility to teach Mario and Sol skills needed to prevent Sol from dashing towards an open door. ๐Ÿ›‘ We're so proud of little Sol for paying close attention to Mario throughout the practice of this safety skill. ๐Ÿพ Good job! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ

Therapy Dog In Training Winston will be visiting medical facilities to cheer up patients and give them some much-needed snuggle time with a big floofy dog.๐Ÿ’™ Today he learned to approach people who are seated, whether in a treatment chair or wheelchair, on their side rather in front of them. ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿฝโ€๐Ÿฆฝ This way, they get maximum Winston fluffball contact to help them feel better. โ˜บ๏ธ

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Richard and Service Dog Marcy recently. ๐Ÿ™‚ Marcy helps her dad keep his stress level down to better manage his medical condition. As a medical alert and medical response service dog, Marcy is trained to intervene when her dad's stress level increases and she helps him deescalate from a high stress situation. For Richard, Marcy is truly a life-saver.โค๏ธ
