Q. Do any of you have a Therapy Dog? If so how did you train it? With a clicker or without? I am asking because I think my dog would make an excellent one; although he needs some more training.
Thanks in advance
Thanks for your help everyone.

A. Once you have your basic obedience down, try for the CGC. Then after your dog is a year old, contact one of the therapy dog registries and see what additional qualifications they require.
Therapy Dogs International
Therapy Dogs Incorporated
The Delta Society
These are 3 of the premier registries for therapy dogs in the US.

A. It's really to involved to get into here. What I would suggest is locating a good aglity class and you'll be looking for is a good Foundation or Beginner 1 class.
Make sure you and your friend sit in on a class and watch before joining. Make sure you like the way the instructor interacts with the student and the dog. The the people look like their having fun? How about the dogs? The jumps should be on the ground, A-Frame, dogwalks and see-saw should be at the lowest possible height.
Any dog can do agility, it's not breed specific.
You can find agility clubs thru these websites:

How do you train your dog not to attack other dogs?
Q. I set up a play date for my lab puppy and just as the other dog got near her she started to bark viciously and growl. I tried to gain control of her but her nails scratched me up really bad.It is the same with walking her,she is fine walking until another dog passes by she'll get really mean and growl and bark.What do I do?
A. Your dog needs to know who is in control. Try getting your puppies' attention by hitting its body, of course not hard but hard enough that your dogs attention is at you. If that doesn't work grab and hold your dog towards the ground. The hold should be firm and place one of your hands on the neck or collar. If your dog tries to move just hold it there longer and repeatly say "NO".
