Re: Therapy Dog Registries?

Thank you for your efforts in canine therapy work - there is a great need for therapy dogs. Rotties can make wonderful therapy dogs as many have a calm, confident and friendly temperment and can read humans really well. I was blessed to have had two rotties who were therapy dogs.

Delta Society requires the handler to complete a home study course in addition to the evaluation testing of the dog and the handler. The course teaches the handler how to approach different situations and how to handle the dog in different settings and situations. I found this very helpful. Their evaluation and testing is rather difficult. They also require you to renew your registration every two years, which includes going through the evaluation each time. It keeps you on your toes.
