S3:E3 Tips When Bringing Home A Puppy. 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. There's a lot of overlap and common considerations when raising a puppy, regardless of what future you intend for them - but especially when you have bought the dog for a working role (whatever that might be). 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!.

| 27 Feb 2024 | S3:E1 What are we looking for in a Therapy Dog & Handler? Your Pre-Course Consult Questions Answered! | 01:39:19 | |
S3:E1 What are we looking for in a Therapy Dog & Handler? Your Pre-Course Consult Questions Answered! Welcome back to Season 3 of the Therapy Dogs Australia Podcast. Sam and Max are offering this podcast as a free resource for those who think they may need a Pre-Course Consultation before committing financially to studying with us. Typically, these consults are booked for a 1:1 setting, which is an expense to the client. We have a booking form that has questions designed to screen for whether or not a client should invest their money in a Therapy Dog Pre Course Consult - as some dog/handler teams have clear issues that need to be addressed before they consider Therapy Dog training - while some appear to have no concerns at all, therefore not needing an individual consult. This podcast will walk you through exactly what we are looking for in a dog & handler team, and which observations that we make of the team are a definite 'no' versus a definite 'yes'. This includes information on what some of the expectations of a Therapy Dog team might be during their day to day working role. This episode will also be really handy for Therapy Dog Trainers who are developing their knowledge in the Therapy Dog industry. To anyone who we saved a consult fee - let's just say, you're welcome ;) Enjoy! FOLLOW! Interested in studying with Therapy Dogs Australia?

Temperament Assessment For Therapy Dog Training: What If You Fail?! Welcome to another episode on the Therapy Dogs Australia Podcast where Sam and Max chat with the lovely Marleen Boom about her experience initially failing a temperament test with her future therapy dog. Marleen details the assessment experience and what she and her dog still needed to work through to successfully pass the temperament assessment a few months later. We hope this episode will reassure those who feel anxious about their upcoming temperament assessment and shine some light on the process for those who feel they don't understand why it's a necessary part of the therapy dog training journey.

| 25 Oct 2022 | S1:E6 Online Dog Training: Does It Work? | 01:39:21 | |
Online Dog Training: Does It Work? Online dog training comes with its own list of pros and cons. From navigating who you should be listening to, and knowing what is something that you can learn online vs what requires face to face training for your dog. Heidi from Dogmanship Training joins us on the Therapy Dogs Australia Podcast today to weigh in on this discussion. Having worked extensively in the dog training industry, Heidi saw an opportunity to create training courses online in an effort to reach a greater number of dog owners in need of advice. Years later, we now have the privilege of hearing her perspective around online dog training and how it's helped so many people create a better life for their dog. Strap yourselves in and enjoy!

S2:E9 Insights From A Breeder In Puppy Development & Ethical Breeding Today on the Therapy Dogs Australia Podcast we are very lucky to have a returning guest with us. Tamara Shead has a wealth of information when it comes to puppy development, ethical breeding standards and animal health. If you haven't listened to our first episode with her in season 1, we strongly recommend checking that one out as well. This episode covers the incredibly important time from getting your puppy home, to the end of their critical socialisation period. This is time that you will never get back (stressful, we know!). Tam has some really great tips for us to best manage this period. Even if your dog is outside of this socialisation window, this will still be really useful information for you.

| 11 Oct 2022 | S1:E5 Ask Your Breeder THIS! Puppy Culture & ENS. | 01:26:18 | |
If you're currently looking for a puppy with the intention of raising them to be a future therapy dog, this is the episode for you. Today on the Therapy Dogs Australia Podcast, we speak with the lovely Tamara, from Whiskey River Ranch about breeding and the important role puppy culture and ENS play when raising puppies. Tam's been involved in the animal world ever since she was young. Having a family so passionate and dedicated to learning and understanding animal behaviour eventually led her to offering animal acupuncture as well as a range of other services including animal nutrition, through the Whiskey River Health Clinic. With the support of her family, a mentor and the breeding community, Whiskey River Retrievers started with the mission of raising healthy, well-adjusted puppies. This is a jam-packed episode, so grab a cup of tea and settle yourself in.

| 11 Oct 2023 | S2:E16 Can I take my puppy to work or not?! | 01:08:22 | |
S2:E16 Can I take my puppy to work or not?! There is so much conflicting advice out there about this question. You know why? Because the answer is it depends! Depends on what? Sam has finally broken the entire decision making process down in to a million pieces to help puppy owners to decide whether or not it is the right decision for them to take their dog in to their workplace or various other environments. By the end of this episode, you should be able to make this decision for yourself. If you are still unsure - then it's probably 'no'. This episode has some really important socialisation information in it, considered alongside the 'real life' scenarios of actually taking your dog to your workplace, where you work - so will be useful also for Therapy Dog Trainers.

| 15 Oct 2024 | S3:E13 Navigating NDIS - Third Parties, Animal ASSISTED Therapy vs 'Animal Therapy' | 00:50:35 | |
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.
