It takes a community to build an emerging practice area in a professional healthcare field.

Dogwood would not be where it is without the inspiration, creativity, and support of these phenomenal beings. They are the kind of people who come together to teach the masses and share knowledge for the greater good. If you have the pleasure of meeting them someday, shake their hand and tell them nice job.

Dog Models, Teachers and Participants:

Jesse, Melvin, Gertrude, Widget, Woody, Clementine, Lucy, Dottie, Tater, Griz, Lola, Summer, and all of the other dogs in training that have come into my home and life to teach me of al the possibilities for animal assisted interventions, services dogs, and general dog training. You are my companions, my teachers, my col eagues, and my inspiration. Thank you for al that you give. I can always count on you (except during live demos and photo shoots, when you take the opportunity to exercise your freedom of choice to retrieve props, steal things that do not belong to you, and take breaks at the most inconvenient times possible).
