Benefits of adding an emotional support therapy dog to your business…..

 

Hear from other business owners of emotional support therapy dogs:

 

Owner Fiorillo speaks about his therapy dog Lulu, “When mourners come to the stately funeral home to make arrangements, Fiorillo asks if they'd like to meet Lulu and tells them she's available — no extra charge — for any wake or funeral. Almost all have accepted.”

Whenever a dog joins a group of mourners, "the atmosphere changes," said Mark Krause, owner and president of Krause Funeral Home and Cremation Service in Milwaukee. "In a funeral home, people are typically on edge, uncomfortable. But everyone lights up, everyone has to greet the dog."

 

Increases reputation in community when people know the dog is available. We recommend each dog has their own business card and "send" thank-you notes to children the dog has befriended. This will GREATLY improve people’s experience at your establishment.

It brings in business when clients know you have the dog. We recommend having a professional video made of your dog, so you can advertise on your website that your dog is available upon request at your facility.

It is the new industry trend. You need to keep up with the market and be competitive with your opponents.

We recommend selecting either a poodle (any size) or a Portuguese water dog as these dogs are hypoallergenic, excel at training, have longevity, possess the necessary temperaments for therapy work, and have good health. Although we recommend choosing one of these two breeds, we are also able to train a specific breed that you choose.

The dogs will be under or near the age of two, to ensure that you get a dog that has matured and is ready for the work, but also is young enough to give you many years of service.

The training time will be between 10-12 weeks. (This time may vary depending on your dog).
