Therapy Dog Talk

Barbara + Carmel: A therapy dog team volunteering in schools.


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered what to expect when volunteering as a school Therapy Dog team?

In this inaugural episode of Therapy Dog Talk, I chat with Dr. Barbara Volkatis about her Goldendoodle, Carmel, and their incredible experiences volunteering as a school Therapy Dog team through Therapy Dogs International (TDI). We dive into their journey from working with a trainer to help Carmel overcome her unruly behavior to discovering her potential as a therapy dog for children.

In this episode, we discuss …

  • How Barbara figured out that Carmel would have fun as a school therapy dog.

  • The lasting effect Carmel’s visits have on the kids she meets.

  • Barbara’s journey with self-publishing to spread the word about pet therapy to more teachers and parents.

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I do. Give it a listen and then let me know in the community which part you found the most helpful!
