Somehow I doubt most so-called "therapy dogs" have much training.
Decades ago, in British Columbia, Vancouver TV ran a clip about a young girl who was subject to seizures and had to wear a helmet at all times in case she fell.
The family got a trained dog who could anticipate when she was about to have a seizure, (change in odor that the dog could detect), and would nudge her towards a couch.......girl, who couldn't identify what was about to happen, knew to trust the dog.
