Whoever said you cant teach an adult Labrador new tricks has not met Tori and her pups Lucy and Burt.

In this 24th episode of Therapy Dog Talk, I chat with Tori Mistick and her two senior Chocolate Labradors, Lucy and Bruce, about their incredible journey of certifying Lucy as a Therapy Dog at age 6. Tori, who runs the blog Wear Wag Repeat, shares her experiences and adventures with her dogs, proving that you can teach an adult dog new tricks.

In this episode, we discuss …

• How an encounter with a child let Tori knew Lucy had the right temperament for therapy work.
• What Tori used as a (not-so-secret now) trick to help Lucy pass her therapy test.
• Tori's reminder to enjoy the ride and to remember that there are always opportunities.
