OK, so, Roland, my newly adopted Basset Hound, likes people. Like.... a LOT. There is not a human being in this world that dog does not want to wag his tail at. I swear, if a burglar came in the night, Roland would ask him for pets. We can't get down the street for his morning walk b/c he has to greet everyone walking by.
He isn't rambunctious, mind you, he doesn't jump on people, he just wags his tail and gives you "The Look," until you pet him.
So I've been thinking....and reading... and have come up with the notion that he might make a darn good therapy dog. Anyone around here have the canine good citizen certificate - or another therapy certification? What are the programs like? Are they expensive? How do you find the experience of bringing your dog to hospitals/hospices/homes?
