✨ Become a confident, resilient Therapy Dog team in 10 weeks with my Life Skills for Therapy Dog Teams course—limited time enrollment: https://sherrierohde.com/course

Leslee has a lot to share when it comes from selecting and training a shelter dog to be a volunteer Therapy Dog.

In this 66th episode of Therapy Dog Talk, I chat with Leslee and her senior rescue dog, Buddy. We talk about how they started doing therapy dog work and how it has changed their lives. Through Alliance of Therapy Dogs, they’ve visited places like libraries, veterans’ homes, and blood drives.

In this episode, we discuss …

  • How Leslee’s journey began with her first Therapy Dog—a doxie named Teddy.

  • What she looked for in finding a dog who would be the right fit for her home as well as for Therapy Dog work.

  • How volunteering with her dogs has been fulfilling in many areas of her life.

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I do. Give it a listen and then let me know in the community which part you found the most helpful!
