Today's therapy dog handlers recognize the need to be teammates
with their dogs, not just supervisors. Teaming with one's dog
involves unobtrusively providing physical and emotional support as
well as respectful guidance in what to do. Being a teammate
requires attention to the handler's behavior, not just the dog's.
This book reminds all handlers that being conscious of what they do
with their dogs increases the effectiveness of therapy visits as
well as providing a more rewarding experience for all
involved.Written by a nationally famous practitioner with decades
of real-world experience, the book introduces the "STEPs of
Teamwork" and how those STEPs fit with a Therapy Dog's Bill of
Rights. These general principles free handlers to apply them in
their own way to their therapy dog's individual personality and
work. As the author writes, "The book explores a way of being
conscious of what you do with and to your therapy dog to support
him in his work. It describes functional principles of behavior you
can learn and use immediately, either together as a package or
independently." Using an exciting new methodology, the author
guides readers to deepen their relationship with their dogs by
acting consciously and respectfully.
