Two profiles, clearly attributed
Experience matters.
So does clarity.
Soul Therapy Dogs presents each person’s education and experience separately. This makes it easier for families and organizations to understand who is associated with each qualification and what the documentation actually supports.
Observe before recommending
Every conversation begins with the dog, the people involved, the environment and the goal being considered.
Attribute every credential
Programs, memberships and institutional experience belong to the person named beside them.
Keep expectations realistic
Education and experience inform the work; they do not guarantee outcomes or replace external evaluations and licensed care.
