Australian Labradoodle Therapy Dogs And The Benefits Of Having One

By Judy Sullivan


Australian labradoodle therapy dogs are used as service dogs because of their gentle temperament and their great sense of smell. They are amazingly calm dogs too which makes them great service animals. Of course it is impossible to deny just how beautiful these pups are. Any therapy dog regardless of the breed has to have special training. The training for these dogs start at a young age like about six weeks to eight weeks old.

These therapy dogs are trained for service work for different types of problems such as autism, blindness, senior citizens, and all other types of mental and physical handicaps. The most compatible service dogs are the ones that have the most human interaction as puppies. Breeders of service dogs can tell which one of the puppies will have the best temperament and personality to work best with certain kids or adults with specific disabilities.

When selecting a service dog you need to let the breeder know exactly what you expect from your service dog. You will usually pick your service dog while it is a puppy so that the breeder can train your service dog to do the things that you request. If you need your service dog to do certain things the breeder will train your dog to do what you want it to do.

You can even buy a service dog for kids with diabetes. These service dogs can be trained to smell high and low blood sugar. They are trained for this from birth. Diabetes service dogs are pretty new to the service dog industry but they are great at helping kids keep their blood sugars at normal levels. They have saved many kids. Service dogs are very well trained and when they are on the job they don't detour from their work. They are on duty until you let them off duty.

The Australian labradoodles are amazing therapy animals. A therapy animal is an animal that is specially trained to go into mental hospitals, nursing homes, hospitals, prisons, and even adoption homes to help brighten up the peoples day. Some people also believe that these animals help heal the patients but that has never been proven.

Therapy dogs have to pass certain test or requirements in order to be a therapy dog. They must go through special training, be able to follow commands immediately, allowing strangers to touch and pet them, they must be able to stay calm in a noisy and chaotic situation, and they must be able to refrain from jumping up on people.

These dogs have such great senses of smell they are wonderful for epileptics that have seizures because they can tell when their master is about to go into a seizure and can even warn them. They can be trained to tell when a seizure is about to accrue. There are even some service dogs that can retrieve medications and bring it to their masters.

So if your in the market for a service dog you should consider Australian labradoodle therapy dogs. They are great with kids and have great temperaments. You would not regret your decision to use this type of dog for a therapy dog.
