Re: Therapy dog?

what i do is lots of training in obedience and around other dogs and people.
we do elevators and stairs when we can.
walk in crowds, different buildings.
if i know someone in a wheelchair or walker, train and walk around them as they stay still or move.
i use this time for shaping up and training in possible situations.
i teach them to go say "hi", which is go to the end of the leash and be petted by another person.
most registries won't register until 12 months minimum, but training and preparedness is fine to work on it as early as possible.
