Pat Dogs

Hi Guys,
I am thinking about getting meg assessed as a PAT dog,
Does anybody have any Pat dogs on here and what's actually involved?

I think Nicci L was having her dog assessed for being a PAT dog, speak to her

Don't have any actual experience but we've got a PAT dog at work in Learning Disabilities. Big lurcher called Benson who's lovely. I always carry gravy bones in my work coat now and he comes running over when he sees me.
I was speaking to his owner and it really seems to make a difference to the patients.
I think it's a great idea.

I sent off for the application pack heres the weblink http://www.petsastherapy.org/ if you click the 'Potential Volunteers' link on the left hand bottom of the screen it will take you through what is involved. Hope this helps

Thanks Nicci

Your Welcome

i e-mailed these people asking about this and they were totally unhelpful!!! hope they have got better as i was intrested in registering my older dog - he'd love it lol

mite -email them again

tob does pat work at a local hospital he visits the kids on the wards.
he loves the attention i'm proud of him and they get to smile when they are in for treatment, every one wins.
they make a huge difference to the ppl they visit and its worth it to see the smiles on others faces but you own them.
its a way of sharing your special dog with others.
