Harley the Wonder Dog passed his assessment to be a therapy dog and we did our first assignment at a senior's residence in Elliot Lake. He received a good review from the more experienced handlers and we had a great time. Lots of treats and petting for Harley, who along with the other dogs generated lots of smiles from the clients. I think that he will get better at it as he associates wearing the bandana with being "on the job", meaning not playing but standing quietly to be petted and given treats. He takes the latter very gently and politely and loved getting extra hugs.
