Jay recently met with his friend, Todd Ferguson, and began his first lesson learning how to properly handle and train a therapy dog!

His dog’s name is Zeppo, and Jay has started hands-on work as he starts building foundational skills in handling and training.

This is a meaningful opportunity for him to help others while also strengthening his own skills. In time, he may pursue additional training and, over time, potentially participate in therapy dog outings once he has developed sufficient skill and experience!
