Recently, my Grandpuppy Mya had her first birthday. We celebrated with presents for her and pink cupcakes for the humans. Besides being a milestone birthday, it was also an exciting day because it meant that she became age qualified to start testing to become a registered pet assisted therapy dog!
Dogs are required to be at least one year of age to be considered for pet therapy testing. My daughter Jade and I worked for 8 months to get Mya well socialized with people and other dogs and to walk nicely on a leash, all important skills on her road to becoming a therapy dog. Mya quickly showed that she was going to have a natural personality that enjoyed attention from everyone she met.
