Therapy Dogs

Cavalier King Charles Spaniels make the best therapy dogs ever! With their mellow temperament and love for all people and other dogs they are just natural therapists.

I had one dog, Cruze (8), as a therapy dog through TDI. We took classes and trained for this and he passed with flying colors. We visited Adult Mental Health facilities, Women's abuse shelters, Long-term detox facilities and attended special events at the hospital. Cruze was at the pet pavilion greeting people at the Minnesota State Fair. Cruze also visited a law school several times to give the students some down time to just sit and relax. Even the professors dropped in to visit and relax.

Covid came and we had to stop. I'm thinking of training my new puppy, Neptune to be a therapy dog as he has the most mellow temper I've ever seen and absolutely loves everyone. If you think your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel could be a therapy dog, please reach out to a therapy group in your area to find out more. We were registered with TDI - Therapy Dogs International but there are many more to choose from.
