S3.E16 Sonny's Legacy
E16 Sonny's Legacy. Sonny, Sam's beloved therapy dog, crossed the rainbow bridge early on Monday morning, leaving behind a profound legacy, too great to put into words on the page.

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.

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!.
