I think having a therapy dog would be great.

I decided to sign Cody up for puppy class starting the end of this month -
it is for pups 6 months and up. Even though he knows, sit, lay, come and
a few other things, the trainer said "he is not trained if he will not listen
to those commands with other distractions around such as dogs and other
people". So even though he listens to me in the home, I think he will be
much more distracted with others around.

She said You have to be able to get a dogs attention in those situations -
so we will see how well Cody does - actually, it should be my husband taking
him - my husband could use training also.

There are other classes also, after this one and they do eventually offer
agility classes.
