Therapy Dogs

 Therapy dogs are dogs who go with their owners to volunteer in settings such as schools, hospitals, and nursing homes.

From working with a child who is learning to read to visiting a  senior in assisted living, therapy dogs and their owners work together  as a team to improve the lives of other people.

Therapy dogs are not service dogs. Service dogs are dogs who are  specially trained to perform specific tasks to help a person who has a  disability. An example of a service dog is a dog who guides an owner who  is blind, or a dog who assists someone who has a physical disability.  Service dogs stay with their person and have special access privileges  in public places such as on planes, restaurants, etc. Therapy dogs, the  dogs who will be earning the AKC Therapy Dog™ title, do not have the  same special access as service dogs.

It is unethical to attempt to pass off a therapy dog as a service dog  for purposes such as flying on a plane or being admitted to a  restaurant.
