Our Biggest Accomplishment!

fuzzybunny · 08-13-2011, 07:07 PM

I just got home with Bunny after a nearly two hour Therapy Dog evaluation and I'm so proud to report that Bunny passed!!! There were 6 dogs and only 3 of us passed.

This accomplishment means so much to me because of how far I've come with her. Bunny is a rescue and I was her 4th home in her short 6 months of age. 2 of those homes were unfortunately shelters. She became extremely dog aggressive at 1.5 years of age and when she was 2.5 years old I finally sought the help of a private trainer. I worked so hard with her and cried so many tears over her behaviour. Fortunately I was able to get her past that and actually bring a puppy into our home which is when we got Jazz.

I'm so proud of her and all that we've accomplished together!

Congrats to you, Bunny and your private trainer to prove that dogs with baggage can overcome!
And reading that only 3 out of 6 passed, shows the test was legit(not going thru the motions) You should be very, very proud of how far you've come. Next chapter in Bunny's life will be much better!!

Many congrats in bringing a reactive dog so far! You are an inspiration to those of us who are dealing with this situation. Which organization did you test with?

Magnolia · 08-13-2011, 07:24 PM

You should both be very proud.

Congratulations! I would love for Addie to be a therapy dog. I did my college Psychology research paper on animal-assisted therapy. It's amazing how much animals can help people!

Have they picked out a facility for you or do you find your own? How soon can you get started? You will find it immensely rewarding

Again, many congrats.
