Madi Sontag and her dog Remi are charting their own course together in Animal-Assisted Occupational Therapy.

In this 83rd episode ofTherapy Dog Talk, I sit down with Magi Sontag, an Occupational Therapy student set to graduate that weekend, about her capstone project at the therapy barn TREE House of Greater St. Louis where she and her dog Remi practicedAnimal-Assisted Occupational Therapy together. Before this project, they also volunteered together as a Therapy Dog team in Omaha through Alliance of Therapy Dogs where they visited several locations including libraries, universities, nursing homes and shelters for the unhoused.

In this episode, we discuss …

• Why Magi decided to volunteer with her dog Remi.
• What it was like to find a place that would allow her to practice Animal-Assisted Occupational Therapy.
• Why it's important to connect with others who are partnering with their dogs.
