Canine-Assisted Therapy
Straja is an expert at communicating with animals and has considered herself a "dog person" since early childhood. She has studied dogs and worked with them her entire professional career.
It is no surprise then, that she is an outstanding trainer of dogs and has trained and worked with award winning certified therapy dogs. In fact, Tumbra was the youngest dog ever to achieve Therapy Dogs International (TDI) certification. Both he and Tangus have been recognized as "Pet Heroes" on the CMT television show of the same name.
Currently Straja is busy getting to know, and training, her new puppy Twillow Rose. Twillow is a beautiful Shiloh Shepherd, as were Tangus and Tumbra, and Straja is already amazed at her gentle nature and aptitude for connecting with others. A slide show featuring Twillow is available on Youtube, visit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAPa5h4bbBA
