Q&A

More and more public safety agencies are using therapy dogs to help support mental wellness and improve the quality of life of both their first responders and the people they interact with. In a recent Lexipol webinar, panelists discussed their experiences with creating and running successful therapy dog programs.

Not surprisingly, the webinar audience asked more questions than it was possible for the panelists to answer during the live broadcast. This Q&A features in-depth responses to the most commonly asked questions on such topics as selecting, training and certifying therapy dogs, getting funding and insurance for a program, and selecting and compensating handlers.

While by no means exhaustive, this Lexipol Q&A provides a wealth of knowledge about therapy dogs and how they can support the well-being of your agency. Download it today to help you get started as you put together your own therapy dog program.
