we passed our Therapy Dog Evaluation!

Last night Farrah and I passed our Therapy Dog Evaluation! We will be working with the St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog Program and will be finding out our placement later this month. Farrah wooed the evaluators with her sweet temperament and then confidently navigated through the various simulations assessing our ability to handle hospital and care-home settings.
From other Shiloh owners who have participated in similar programs, I have heard it is a very rewarding experience. Shilohs, with their gentleness and calm demenour, as a breed are well-suited for Therapy work. Everyone last night could not believe she is not even 1 1/2yrs old , yet so calm and collected.
