S2:E7 Working with Multi-Cultural Populations With Therapy Dogs (Guest: Noémie Rigaud)

Today Sam and Max chat with Noémie Rigaud, who used to work as a migration and human rights lawyer in France before she moved to Australia and became a full-time Mental Health Social Worker, both in private practice and at the Queensland Program of Assistance to Survival of Torture and Trauma.

You'll hear about how Tango, her therapy dog, was introduced to a very multi-cultural and diverse workplace and the careful planning that was done to ensure a positive experience for everyone.

Noémie and Tango did their therapy dog training through us which is how we have been able to have this conversation today.

Strap yourselves in for an insightful episode.

Temperament Assessment For Therapy Dog Training: What If You Fail?!

Welcome to another episode on the Therapy Dogs Australia Podcast where Sam and Max chat with the lovely Marleen Boom about her experience initially failing a temperament test with her future therapy dog.

Online Dog Training: Does It Work?

Online dog training comes with its own list of pros and cons. From navigating who you should be listening to, and knowing what is something that you can learn online vs what requires face to face training for your dog. Heidi from Dogmanship Training joins us on the Therapy Dogs Australia Podcast today to weigh in on this discussion. Having worked extensively in the dog training industry, Heidi saw an opportunity to create training courses online in an effort to reach a greater number of dog owners in need of advice. Years later, we now have the privilege of hearing her perspective around online dog training and how it's helped so many people create a better life for their dog. Strap yourselves in and enjoy!

If you're currently looking for a puppy with the intention of raising them to be a future therapy dog, this is the episode for you. Today on the Therapy Dogs Australia Podcast, we speak with the lovely Tamara, from Whiskey River Ranch about breeding and the important role puppy culture and ENS play when raising puppies. Tam's been involved in the animal world ever since she was young. Having a family so passionate and dedicated to learning and understanding animal behaviour eventually led her to offering animal acupuncture as well as a range of other services including animal nutrition, through the Whiskey River Health Clinic. With the support of her family, a mentor and the breeding community, Whiskey River Retrievers started with the mission of raising healthy, well-adjusted puppies. This is a jam-packed episode, so grab a cup of tea and settle yourself in.
