Dutch Shepherd Forum

Hi I currently have 2 D.S. One is a 10 yo rescue and one is a soon to be 5 yo female. She has earned her UCDX and ASCA CDX,we are working on utility, they both are involved in agility. I am an Occupational Therapist that is branching out into animal assistive therapy for the physically disabled training for companion and service dogs. I will be looking for a pup this summer that will work with me and be trained for therapy sessions. I feel the work ethic of a DS can make an excellent service dog. Pat from Cape Cod MA

Hello Pat,

Welcome to the group! What wonderful work you do with your dogs!! I am really intrigued in the animal assisted therapy! I have heard more and more about it recently. I know we would all love to hear more about the specific details of what your dogs do! Well....and we are all a sucker for striped beasts in pictures!!!

At least one of her dogs made the rescued DS cover of this year's NADSR calendar! (sorry I cannot remember which one)

Welcome

Glad you found us, Pat, and eager to hear more about your assisted therapy stuff...and PICTURES
