Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 Have any of you gotten a therapy dog for your child? We'll be getting a 2 year old Golden Retriever from a very reputable breeder who's also a school teacher and has an autistic child in her class so she knows exactly what type of dog would be best for Hunter. I'd like to look into getting her trained as a therapy dog but was wondering what's involved in doing this? I'm told if I get our dog certified that she can even go to school with Hunter. I've heard a lot of good things about dogs helping children both socially and with language and Hunter gets so excited around animals that I think this might be a good thing for him. A plus is that this dog is already obedience trained, housetrained, and has an extremely gentle disposition. Any information would be so appreciated. Sorry this is so off topic.
