Therapy Dogs: Training Your Dog to Reach Others
I purchased this book because the reviews from other shoppers were so good. I was a little disappointed though because the book is more a basic dog training guide than how to get started in the business of therapy dogs. It just wasn’t the right book for me.

If you plan to train you dog to be a Therapy Dog, this book is great. It covers just about anything that you will need to know! It is a bit lengthy, but is complete. It will give some ideas whether you want to proceed with your dog’s training for this work. Therapy dogs are wonderful animals for others to love.
