Therapy Dog Trainers in Houston

A Therapy dog is a dog with special education to provide comfort and affection to people in nursing homes, retirement homes, hospice centers, disaster areas and even schools with people that have learning disabilities.

Some online research studies indicate that Therapy Dog interaction can release neurotransmitters such as oxytocin and dopamine in the brain. These natural chemicals released can sometimes have a dramatic impact on individuals with physical or mental issues. Therapy dogs are sometimes confused with service dogs or assistance dogs. Service dogs are dogs that have other special training to deal with specific disabilities such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. While service dogs have certain rights to accompany the dog owner in many public areas, Therapy Dogs may not have the same legal rights and skill sets. Therapy dogs receive a different type of training and are not officially trained to assist specific individuals. As a result, they do not qualify as “Service Dogs” under the Americans with Disabilities Act. While some establishments may allow Therapy Dogs to accompany owners, it should be known that many establishments have strict rules and may see Therapy Dogs as merely a pet in a public area.
