Shannon created a Therapy Dog program with her dog Blue and advocates for Therapy Dog welfare.
In this 93rd episode of Therapy Dog Talk, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Shannon Noonan, where she shared her experiences as a mental health professional, certified professional dog trainer and Therapy Dog handler with her rescued Great Dane Pointer mix, and heart dog, Blue.
In this episode, we discuss …
- How her research showed that Therapy Dogs can have a significant positive impact on people’s mental health.
- Why it’s important to recognize signs of stress and discomfort in dogs to ensure their well-being and happiness.
- How dogs, like humans, can change over time, physically or behaviorally and that it’s essential to recognize and respect this.
