Therapy Dog Prospects

A thoughtful starting point for families considering a puppy for future therapy work.

A More Personal Way to Choose a Therapy Prospect

I begin by learning about your household, daily rhythm, experience with dogs, and the kind of therapy setting you have in mind. We can discuss the qualities that may matter for your goals, such as sociability, adaptability, confidence, and a willingness to engage.

I then share observations about suitable puppies based on their development and individual temperament. This is a guided conversation rather than a promise of future certification, giving you a clearer way to make a responsible choice and plan for continued socialization and training.

Ideal For

• Families exploring future therapy dog work

• Experienced owners seeking a people-focused companion

• Homes prepared for ongoing training and socialization

• Individuals comparing temperament and lifestyle needs

How It Works

1. Share Your Goals: Tell me about your home, experience, and intended therapy setting.

2. Review Temperament: We discuss puppy observations and qualities relevant to your plans.

3. Plan The Next Steps: You leave with practical guidance for continued development and training.
