| The Spanish Water Dog is a naturally aloof dog, designed for
dedication to its owner. However, several owners have spent a great deal of
time with their extraordinary dogs to certify them as Therapy or Emotional
Support dogs.
Most major metropolitan areas and many hospitals have private therapy dog
certifications. If you are interested in working with your SWD in therapy, ask
your local trainer, library or hospital for local programs. Many people begin
their training by passing the Canine Good Citizen test, an AKC test open to dogs
of all breeding. For a listing of qualified local CGC evaluators, contact the
American Kennel Club.
