Today I want to talk about something that over the course of the past few years I’ve coined as parenting styles for dogs. After coaching thousands of puppy parents, things start to become very clear and you find ways to really connect ideas with people. This is one of those ideas.

What kind of puppy parent am I? Do I motivate my dog to want to be with me? I think you're going to like this one.

Today we are talking about therapy dogs and address the following:

What is a therapy dog? 

• What is the difference between a therapy dog, emotional support dog and a service dog? 

How do you train your dog to be a therapy dog? 

• When do you start?
• How long does it take?
• What things does your dog need to know how to do?
• Who do you certify with?
• How old does your dog need to be?

Where can you take your therapy dog?

• What places allow therapy dogs to visit?
• Organizations offer insurance - your dog will be interacting with the public.

There are three main areas I want to address today on this topic of training mode vs everyday life.

First, why training mode? What is it and how does it develop? 

Second, what do you want your dog to do? What are your goals for your dog?

And finally, how can you use what you have taught your dog to make everyday life easier for both of you?
