S5:E5 Safety, Standards & Speaking Up With Therapy Dogs (Guest: Christine Waters)
In this episode, we’re joined by Christine Waters, a primary school chaplain and therapy dog handler, who shares her experience navigating a challenging situation involving another therapy dog in a school setting.
Christine reflects on observing concerning behaviour, the steps taken to address risk, and the importance of accountability, training, and clear processes when issues arise. The conversation highlights the real-world complexities of working in shared environments, and the responsibility handlers carry to ensure safety for everyone involved.
An honest and important discussion about maintaining standards, advocating for best practice, and protecting the integrity of therapy dog programs.
