[Dailydrool] Bassets as Therapy Dogs`

[Rkbeard at aol.com]

Basset Hounds can make wonderful therapy dogs.  Many Bassets do very  well 
in obedience competition, and most have no trouble passing their Canine  
Good Citizen Test.  Any dog that has an obedience title must be able to  work 
off lead, so that should not be a problem.  Get your dog trained in  
Obedience, get his or her CGC Text passed, and then work toward Therapy.  
 
My very first Basset Hound, who was a pet, not a show dog, was a therapy  
dog, and worked wonderfully with children with special needs--blind, mentally 
 challenged, emotionally disturbed, etc.  We also did a little work in  
nursing homes.
