A little update with therapy dogs and help needed.

Thats great! Good luck with it.
If you are nervous TJ will most liekly pick up on that. Could you possibly take him with you first, just like you did, to get a "feel" for the place per say and see how reacts. I think that will help the both of yous.
Let us know how it goes!

I think we will get their 15 mins. early we have to check in and stuff and so that will give him a little feel of it. But because they already have it on the scedule it will be to late to say lets just have T.j have a tour. I'm not so nervous, I'm more excited. Will that mess him up? To start off T.j will only meet to seniors. Should I bring treats or will that be to much of a distraction?

I did a project in my general psychology class a few years ago about how animals and animal contact can improve people's health.

Feel free to PM me and I can give you some good articles. There is a lot of science behind it!! You can use evidence from previous studies, then maybe interview the residents of your facitility and ask them how it makes them feel to visit with you & TJ. I think that's a cool senior project! Good luck.
