Your dog has to be unflappable in all sorts of things. Can't be scared of walkers, wheelchairs or laundry carts coming through. They usually drop a metal pan like a bedpan on the floor but your dog shouldn't jump or get nervous. Your dog has to be ready to sometimes be hugged a little too hard, but we're always there to help get the patient to release their grip. Some patiants are very loud, shouldn't be nervous about that either. Most happenings that are normal in a hospital setting. And the dog shouldn't be afraid of those slippery floors.
S ome dogs have always walked on carpet and are afraid of shiny floors that have no grip. Wish I could think of everything, but just a general idea.
Very good- as well as walk past food carts-.. lol. If you read my website, the kids order jello the morning they are coming..
