Dr. Laura Pedersen partners with her mini Aussie Jameson to implement Animal-Assisted Interventions in corrections.

In this 64th episode of Therapy Dog Talk, I chat with Dr. Laura Pedersen and her miniature Australian Shepherd, Jameson. We talk about their work with Animal-Assisted Interventions (AAI) in a place that helps people with mental health problems who have been in trouble with the law. They have made a special program that brings therapy dogs into one-on-one and group therapy sessions.

In this episode, we discuss …

• Why Laura recommends beginning with volunteer work.
• How she learned to read Jameson’s communication.
• How Jameson helps her to reach the people she works with.
