Nature Coast Therapy Dogs

One of our tasks for training Nature Coast Therapy Dogs is assuring the dogs are comfortable around ambulatory assistance walkers, wheelchairs etc. This is Lacey, who seems very comfortable around this walker. Of course, because Lacey LOVES to be around people. Please share this with an organization who might use our services or with someone who might be interested in putting their dog to work.

It’s official…we have a training location. Thank you to Rosecastle of Citrus, Retirement and Assisted Living Facility for offering their fenced in yard for training our therapy dogs. We had our first class yesterday. This is our Organizer and Trainer, Joanne Peters, testing the dogs for their reaction to a wheelchair. (They didn’t care. Totally unfazed and that is what we want)

Do you have time to spend with your fur baby? Now is the time to get your dog trained for doing much needed community work. Please contact us or share this post with someone you think would be a good candidate.

Our dogs can help children involved in the justice system. They provide comfort and confidence for facing and dealing with uncomfortable circumstances. Let us know if you can recommend someone or a group who could use us.
