Therapy Dogs

Golden retrievers are highly sensitive to people, which makes them ideal therapy dogs. They often work in hospitals to offer comfort and companionship to patients. They are also capable of becoming Emotional Service Animals (note that ESAs differ from service dogs when it comes to legal protections).

Golden Retrievers are usually quiet, loving, and friendly, which are the key traits a therapy dog requires. Their medium size also enables them to use their body weight to ground a person who is having a panic attack.

They can also use blocking techniques to help people with agoraphobia or other disorders or personalities that make them uncomfortable around other people. If their owner feels uncomfortable in a crowd, their dog can position itself between them and other people.

Also, as dogs have a strong sense of smell and can detect different medical conditions, Golden Retrievers can warn their owners about low blood sugar, heart abnormalities, or seizures. They can also learn to bark, paw at, nudge, or jump to alert their owners of medical emergencies. ticket 1 ticket 2 ticket 3 ticket 4 ticket 5 draft 1 draft 2 draft 3 draft 4 taelfeed project1 files 1 files 2 files 3 files 4 files 5 files 6 files 7
