therapy dog wash-out

Keep on keeping on - I am sure with experience and further training you will both be welcome additions WHEREVER you eventually get placed :)

So we are not supposed to be just thrown out there?

I wish we had a therapy group that was a bit more supportive.

My dogs passed their tests at the end of last year and we have yet to go on our first visit. It's a 'scheduling issue' according to the group leader. Bah!

I like your suggestions on kind of easing into things. The group that I am 'associated' with has the teams (hear-say now) go out with the group for 3-4 hours the first time (when sceduling allows); otherwise, apparently you don't get any visits.

Thanks for the vent and suggestions.
