The Power of Incorporating Animals into Therapy
Last episode I had a fantastic chat with Crystal Cabrera about her experience so far training her dog Koopa to be a therapy dog. And this chat really got me thinking about a bunch of things that all relate to this topic and especially the power of incorporating animals into therapy. Today, I figured I’d take a minute and share my thoughts from the chat I had with Crystal. If you happened to miss the interview episode, you can give it a listen over at https://ot4lyfe.com/97 , that’s episode 97 titled How to Train a Therapy Dog.
