Tootsie Greeting a Patient
Watch how Trisha’s Tootsie wants nothing more than to be in
someone’s lap. A good sign in a potential Animal Assisted Therapy
or Animal Assisted Activities dog!
AAA-AAT Excitability Test
One of the traits of a good AAT dog is low reactivity. Watch
how Czar, the big white Pyrenees, remains calm, while later
on, Border Collie Willie shows too much excitement to work
with children or the disabled.
