What's the difference between a therapy dog and a regular dog?
- jacalata 11y agoI'm not terribly familiar with them, but in general a therapy dog should have been trained in some way to ameliorate a specific condition - eg, to notice that the owner is approaching a panic attack and alert them with a specific series of barks, or to maintain a touch contact that helps the owner cope with anxiety, etc.
- phaus 11y ago10K+ worth of training. Some people with PTSD claim that having one is life changing.
