Jennifer + Eclipse: An Animal-Assisted Counseling Team
Description
Jennifer’s Bernedoodle Eclipse partners with her in Animal-Assisted Counseling as a therapy assistant.
In this 89th episode of Therapy Dog Talk, I welcome Jennifer Uhlman, a Marriage and Family Therapist, and her Bernedoodle, Eclipse. Jennifer shares the unique journey that led Eclipse from service dog training to partnering with her in Animal-Assisted Counseling, an unexpected pivot due to Eclipse’s health and anxiety-related issues.
In this episode, we discuss …
- What it was like for Eclipse to transition from a Service Dog in training to a therapeutic assistant in Animal-Assisted Counseling.
- How Eclipse has been helped clients in her therapy practice.
- Why it’s important to recognize when your dog needs a break.
