Preparig for your Evaluation

To prepare for your Pet Partners evaluation, it’s a good idea to practice all sorts of role playing, such as crowds surrounding your pet. It is so important we know how calm and steady your pet is when people come up at all heights and all speeds and making noises and crowding your dog. Perhaps they are coming up from behind or running up to your pet. While we can manage it somewhat when people are excited to see your therapy pet, they are excited! This is Charlie arriving for his assignment at a hospital and all of a sudden the door opened and many people all ran up to him. He remained quiet and calm and waited patiently for everyone to pet him. They took a group photo and got his trading cards and moved on. All the while Charlie was very happy to meet everyone and I made sure he was safe and happy.
