I would have to agree with Donna though regarding maybe trying a different type of program - whether it be a kids program, a nursing home or hospice - where it is quieter. Good luck and don't give up just yet!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13882366552536240381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529657655552025590.post-58672514829581816892013-03-04T20:29:09.437-05:002013-03-04T20:29:09.437-05:00Sorry to hear it might not work out with your Toby...Sorry to hear it might not work out with your Toby. My own Toby did not make a good therapy dog, despite passing the tests, and I decided to retire him, so I know how you are feeling. :-(<br /><br />Do you think a different environment might work better?

Blueberry'...Awww - I'm sorry to hear that. Blueberry's reluctance to allow strangers to pet her (even strangers that give her treats for pete's sake) is one of the reasons why I gave up the therapy dog dream. I hope someone has some good advice for you! Let us know how it goes please! :)Blueberry's humanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09939332241280524991noreply@blogger.com
