Service Dog vs Therapy Dog

Did you know that there is a difference between a Service Dog and a Therapy Dog? I learned something new.




                                                               Best Service Dog

                                             ***Theme: Good News***

That saying that “Dog is man’s best friend,” may be more than just a cliche. Dog therapy produces a human bonding between the pet and the person. This emotional bonding sometimes can be key to helping another while recovering from a stressful situation.

                                            ***A Few Tips for You***


1. Pooper Scooper Service

Did you know that there is a pooper scooper service that will come to your resident or business to remove poop? According to Angieslist.com you can expect to pay $10-$15.00 per week for one visit with one dog. For those that may not prefer to pick up your dog’s poop, this might be a service to consider.



2. Service Dog

According to caninejournal.com a Service Dog is trained to help people with disabilities which may include visual impairments, seizure disorders, etc.

3. Therapy Dog

A therapy dog is trained to provide affection , comfort and support, according to Wikipedia.org., I have seen this type of dog at a hospital, nursing home, libraries, and numerous other places.


4. Mobile Pet Service

Pet Mobile service is a travel grooming service for dogs and some cats as well. The first time that I learned about a Pet Mobile was when I was visiting my daughter in the South. As her and I was talking she explained she would be getting her dog groomed later in the day. Later I saw a truck drive up in the drive way. She then took her dog and walked him out to the truck. The dog got into the truck as though this was nothing new for him. I was amazed. This is so convenient. The groomer comes to you. How nice. This also saves driving time and gas.

5. Best Breeds of Service Dogs

The best breeds of service dogs according to k9ofmine.com include Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever, German Shepherd, Poodle, Boxer, Great Dane, Border Collie, Pomeranian, Berneice Mountain Dogs, and Pit Bulls.




6. Best Breeds of Therapy Dogs

The best breeds of therapy dogs according to cheatsheeet.com are Labrador retriever, french bulldog, greyhound, golden retriever, poodle, promeranium, miniature poodle, collie, Yorkshire terrior, and Cavalier King Charles are just a few of the best breeds listed.

I did have a toy poodle and he was a very good watch dog. He was very territorial and was very good with my children which was very important to me. I also had a red doberman. I did not see doberman on the list of best dogs, but my Doberman we called Gabby which was short for Gabriel the angel named in the Bible. She was the best dog. Just very good with the children. She was very affectionate and loving, while still being an excellent watch dog.


Note:


There is something therapeutic about hugging or stroking a dog. That physical contact can be very soothing and pleasurable.

This is very interesting. A couple of years ago I was thinking to take a dod and was wondering what kind of dog will be the most suitable for me. I learned a lot from this article. Thank you!

Interesting!! I had no clue that there was a difference! It absolutely makes sense though. Pick of the Litter is a really cute Disney Plus show about training professional dogs- definitely one to check out.
