Thea is training her Standard Poodle Bentley to partner with her in Animal-Assisted Therapy as a future Social Work dog.

In this 18th episode of Therapy Dog Talk, I talk with Thea about her journey with her Standard Poodle, Bentley, as they work towards making him a Social Work dog for Animal-Assisted Therapy. Thea tells me how she found out about therapy dogs and her goal to include Bentley in her social work job. We chat about Bentley’s love for meeting people, his need to be calm around new folks, and what he would like about being a therapy dog.

In this episode, we discuss …

• What has surprised Thea in her journey towards Bentley being a Therapy Dog.
• How she hopes Bentley will help the people who she works with as a Social Worker.
• What Thea recommends for others who are interested in getting into Therapy Dog work.
