In this 21st episode of Therapy Dog Talk, I interviewed Hailey of @darrelthedoge who shared:
- Why she decided to focus on trick training as a precursor to Therapy Dog training.
- How she tries to make each piece of their day intentional for their focus work and training goals.
- How she discovered Therapy Dogs through the work that she does in memory care and the impact she has seen from animals working with people living with dementia.
- What intimidated her about training Darrel to be a Therapy Dog and who inspired her.
- How the journey to Therapy Dog is not as linear or flawless as we often perceive it to be.
Give it a listen and let me know which part you found the most helpful, then follow @darrelthedoge to stay up to date on their journey and see Darrel in action as the office dog.
