In this episode: 

Today our special guest Ann Davidson, of Canine Therapy Corps, joins us to talk Pet therapy, or as I call it, doggie love.  Have you heard of Pet therapy, well it’s empowering and motivates individuals to improve their physical and psychological health and well-being by harnessing the human-animal bond. 

Ann provides the knowledge of this well received therapy which dates to the 1700’s.  However, this episode discusses current data.  What is the difference between a service dog and a therapy dog? Where is dog therapy used, and who benefits from it?  Could you and your dog serve in this role of providing pet therapy, and will it enrich your life?

Additionally, Ann shares a few important things to remember when approached by a service and pet therapy dog.
