  • S3:E15 Regulation In The Industry – Does It Exist?!

    Welcome to the Therapy Dogs Australia podcast. In this episode, Sam and Amy dive into the pressing need for regulation and accountability in the animal-assisted therapy field. They unpack the risks involved, sharing insights on professional responsibility and the importance of setting standards to protect both clients and animals. The conversation also highlights issues around misrepresentation, where unqualified dogs are marketed as therapy animals, and why this misleads consumers and increases risk. Tune in as they discuss how industry standards can prevent harm and build trust in this growing field.

    Trigger warning - Dog attack discussed in this podcast, with the outcome being a dog euthanised by police.

  • S3:E13 Navigating NDIS - Third Parties, Animal ASSISTED Therapy vs 'Animal Therapy'

    Quick recap

    Sam discusses the complexities of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and its impact on therapy sessions, emphasizing the importance of understanding the distinction between animal therapy and animal-assisted therapy. She also clarifies the role of tools and objects in therapy sessions, and the use of animal experiences in therapy, arguing that therapists should (and do) have the autonomy to use evidence-based tools without interference from the NDIS. Lastly, she shares her experiences with therapy dogs in psychology and allied health settings, and emphasises the importance of maintaining professional boundaries and correct documentation of therapy sessions involving animal-assisted therapy.

    Key Points

    • Allied health professionals to ensure their case notes and reports focus on evidence-based interventions rather than overemphasizing animal interactions.

    • Practitioners to include a separate section in case notes for animal-assisted therapy observations, without drawing clinical conclusions solely from animal interactions.

    • Clinicians to document how animal presence does not detract from providing professional services in their notes.

    • Therapy dog handlers to be prepared to justify the expense and value of animal-assisted therapy tools if questioned by third-party payers.

    • Animal-assisted therapy practitioners to collaborate on risk management strategies in preparation for potential future regulatory challenges.

  • S3:E11 On the Therapy Dogs Australia Podcast today, Sam had the opportunity to speak with Sue Clarke-Smith, a social worker and child and family practitioner who originally did our Clinical course with her senior dog Mickey and upon deciding the work would be too demanding for him, Sue made the decision to instead adopt a rescue puppy called Fonzi who has now graduated as a therapy dog to work alongside her. They discuss on-going training and preparations when starting an outdoor practice and the challenges that go along with that. There are some visual elements to the podcast at the end which may be better suited to watching on Youtube.

    Welcome to another episode on the Therapy Dogs Australia Podcast! Sam's Anatolian Shepherd puppy has arrived! She is raising Kiki to be a Livestock Guardian dog for her goats (hopefully!) and it's been an absolutely crazy first week.

    There's a lot of overlap and common considerations when raising a puppy, regardless of what future you intend for them - but especially when you have bought the dog for a working role (whatever that might be).

    We will talk about the pressures of trying to raise a working dog that has a (hopefully) specific purpose - how to choose which advice to follow - and how to rise above the stress so that you can enjoy your puppy, because this amazing time really does slip by way too fast!.

  • S3:E1 What are we looking for in a Therapy Dog & Handler? Your Pre-Course Consult Questions Answered!

    Welcome back to Season 3 of the Therapy Dogs Australia Podcast.

    Sam and Max are offering this podcast as a free resource for those who think they may need a Pre-Course Consultation before committing financially to studying with us. Typically, these consults are booked for a 1:1 setting, which is an expense to the client. We have a booking form that has questions designed to screen for whether or not a client should invest their money in a Therapy Dog Pre Course Consult - as some dog/handler teams have clear issues that need to be addressed before they consider Therapy Dog training - while some appear to have no concerns at all, therefore not needing an individual consult.

    This podcast will walk you through exactly what we are looking for in a dog & handler team, and which observations that we make of the team are a definite 'no' versus a definite 'yes'. This includes information on what some of the expectations of a Therapy Dog team might be during their day to day working role.

    This episode will also be really handy for Therapy Dog Trainers who are developing their knowledge in the Therapy Dog industry.

    To anyone who we saved a consult fee - let's just say, you're welcome ;)

  • S2:E16 Can I take my puppy to work or not?!

    There is so much conflicting advice out there about this question. You know why? Because the answer is it depends!

    Depends on what? Sam has finally broken the entire decision making process down in to a million pieces to help puppy owners to decide whether or not it is the right decision for them to take their dog in to their workplace or various other environments. By the end of this episode, you should be able to make this decision for yourself. If you are still unsure - then it's probably 'no'.

    This episode has some really important socialisation information in it, considered alongside the 'real life' scenarios of actually taking your dog to your workplace, where you work - so will be useful also for Therapy Dog Trainers.

    Throughout this podcast we mention other episodes that we have done which have relevant information included, these are:
