I LOVE a friendly dog or cat, but friendliness is only one little piece of what makes a great therapy animal!

Think about the environments therapy animals visit. There might be wheelchairs, walkers, medical equipment, unusual noises, people moving unpredictably, or someone who just isn't interested in interacting with an animal that day.

We want our pets to be comfortable with all sorts of people and experiences, but we also need them to be able to relax, follow their handler's guidance, and handle situations where things don't go quite as expected.

This is why I encourage people to start building those foundations LONG before they're thinking about certification. There's so much we can do through everyday routines, thoughtful socialization, and real-world experiences to help our pets become confident, well-rounded companions.

If you've ever considered therapy animal work with your dog or cat, what's the biggest question you have about getting started?

Last week, I asked HOW you like to learn. This week, I want to know WHAT you want to learn!

If you could ask a professional animal trainer anything, what would it be?

Maybe you're dreaming of training a therapy animal, want to take your pet on more adventures, or have a behavior that's driving you absolutely bananas.

Big questions, little questions, things you've always wondered but never thought to ask. I want to hear them! I mean it! ANY animal related question. Lay it on me!

I'm working on some new FREE training content, and your questions will help me decide what to tackle first. 💙🐾

One of my favorite things about helping people prepare their pets for therapy animal work is encouraging them to enjoy the journey!

There's no need to rush toward certification or the next training milestone. Take the time to get to know your pet, discover what they enjoy, have fun with them, and appreciate all the little quirks that make them who they are.

For example, one of the things I LOVE about Korra is her ability to chill out anytime, anywhere, in all sorts of wildly uncomfortable-looking positions. 😂

Of course, we want to help our pets learn and grow, but we can appreciate them for exactly who they are right now too!

So, what's something unique about YOUR pet that you absolutely love? I'd love to hear about their funny habits, personality quirks, and all the little things that make them special!

It ain't glamorous, but it sure is life-changing!

One of my FAVORITE exercises for helping pets learn to relax is something I call Sitting on the Leash.

It's one of those ridiculously simple exercises that can make a HUGE difference in everyday life, especially if you're working toward therapy animal certification.

Think about how often we expect our pets to hang out calmly while we're doing something else. Maybe you're chatting with a neighbor, waiting for an appointment, or sitting outside enjoying a margarita. 🍹

For future therapy animals, learning to relax while life happens around them is especially important. There's plenty of downtime during therapy animal visits, and we want our pets to be genuinely comfortable with that, not constantly waiting for something exciting to happen.

Sitting on the Leash is one of my go-to exercises for building that skill, and it's something you can easily incorporate into your everyday routine.

Want to learn how? We cover Sitting on the Leash and SO much more in my free training guide!

Does anyone else feel like they've seen approximately 1 GAJILLION different ways to train your pet online?

You can read books, watch YouTube videos, listen to podcasts, follow trainers on social media, and easily spend HOURS learning about all the different ways to teach your dog or cat something... but when are you supposed to actually DO all that training?!

Especially when you're working toward something like therapy animal certification, it can feel pretty overwhelming trying to figure out what to work on, how to do it, and where on earth to find the time.

The good news is that training doesn't have to mean setting aside an hour every day. Some of my favorite opportunities happen during the routines we're already doing, whether that's practicing calm while making dinner, working on handling skills during a quiet evening, or incorporating a little training into a weekend outing.

The easiest way to train your pet is to start shaping your everyday routines and interactions with training in mind. Those little moments add up, and you might be surprised how much progress you can make without adding another big thing to your to-do list!

That's where the King's Creatures Adventure Team Club comes in!

Inside the KCAT Club, I help you cut through the overwhelm, figure out what to focus on, and put practical training into action in ways that work for you and your pet. You'll have ongoing guidance, training resources, and a community to help you stay consistent while working toward your goals.

Whether you're raising a future therapy animal or building skills for everyday adventures, I'd love to help you make training feel a whole lot more manageable!

Have you ever noticed that your pet can do something PERFECTLY at home, but suddenly seems to forget everything when you're somewhere new?

This is something I talk about with clients all the time, especially when we're working toward therapy animal certification.

Dogs and cats don't automatically understand that a skill they've practiced in the living room should work exactly the same way at the vet, in a busy park, or around unfamiliar people. New environments bring new distractions, and we have to help our pets learn how to apply their skills in different situations.

That's why real-world practice is such an important part of my training programs. We work on building confidence, introducing distractions thoughtfully, and helping pets learn how to navigate the environments they'll actually encounter throughout their lives.

If your goal is therapy animal work, that foundation is especially important because we can't predict everything that might happen during a visit!

What's one skill your pet does beautifully at home but struggles with when you're out and about? I'd love to hear what you're working on!

What's something about your pet that you're especially grateful for?

11/04/2026

One of the most important skills for a therapy animal is being able to relax when there's absolutely nothing to do!

Think about what a therapy animal visit actually looks like. Sure, there's plenty of interaction, but there's also a lot of waiting while the handler talks with someone, people move around, equipment makes noises, and all sorts of things happen in the background.

We want our dogs and cats to be genuinely comfortable in those situations, not simply holding a position because we've told them to stay.

This is one of the reasons I put so much emphasis on building calmness into everyday life. Learning to relax while you chat with a neighbor, wait at an appointment, or spend time somewhere new helps develop skills that can eventually translate to therapy animal work. Plus, they're pretty fantastic life skills even if your pet never becomes a therapy animal!

Now I'd love to hear from you!

Where does your pet have the easiest time relaxing, and where could they use a little more practice?

Brought a little joy with me to the polls today in my Joy the Comfort Dog shirt!

Let's see those "I voted" selfies, America!

Also, if your pet has merch, drop a link in the comments. I'm always down to rep the pets of the KCAT community!

Happy Halloween from King's Creatures! 🎃

Whether your Adventure Team is out enjoying the festivities, helping greet trick-or-treaters, or spending the evening somewhere quiet with a favorite chew, I hope you have a wonderful night!

If you've been working on door greetings, confidence, or settling around excitement this month, remember to celebrate the little wins!

Maybe your dog stayed relaxed through a few knocks. Maybe your cat was comfortable watching the excitement from the top of their tower. Maybe you recognized that they'd had enough and helped them take a break.

Those are all things worth celebrating or, as I like to call them, !

Show me your Halloween Adventure Team! Costumes, cozy nights in, and everything in between are welcome!
