Developing and Nurturing the Therapy Team Relationship focuses on developing a more meaningful relationship between you and your animal teammate, when volunteering in your community, working in a professional capacity, and/or going about your daily life at home.

By watching this DVD, perhaps you will get new ideas, or be reminded of forgotten ideas, that, when brought into action, will deepen the bond between the two of you.

Enjoy the journey!"

Developing and Nurturing the Therapy Team Relationship:


This DVD is such a wonderful resource for AAT and AAA practitioners! It covers all the essentials and provides detailed explanations and video examples of topics that every practitioner should know. The positive, dog-friendly approach portrayed is the only way to go, and the specifics provided will be extremely useful to novice as well as experienced AAT/AAA providers. This DVD has my highest endorsement!

This DVD will benefit those interested in getting their first puppy and those who have had dogs all their lives.  There is so much here for beginner to experienced handlers.  Christi teaches us "how to teach our dogs" in such a calming manner.

Experienced, registered therapy teams, already visiting hospitals and other facilities, will take away new training tips and methods that will help them grow into even stronger teams.

My wife and I have had dogs all our lives.  We have watched Christi's video numerous times.  Each time we find something new to pass along to our wonderful Labs.

Thanks for taking the time to put together this wonderful, informative and valuable tool.

Well done, Christi!

"Christi has done a lovely job of making this DVD appealing to both therapy-dog people and pet-dog people.  She asks questions for views to consider, and she answers them.  She provides practical and esoteric information.  Nice job!"

If anyone can deliver the goods on what qualities are needed for becoming the ultimate therapy-dog team, it’s Christi Dudzik. She not only talks the talk here but walks the walk, guiding  viewers from the puppy-selection process to the trained bedside partner that evokes smiles, hugs and positive reactions from patients in need from 8 to 80.

      A detailed and energetic narrative, it leaves the viewer with the feel that there are no shortcuts for the successful therapy-dog team and reminds you that good intentions are not always enough. One of its key strengths is that it has you thinking like a dog from the point you enter a facility until you leave.

     From grooming to guardianship and from advocacy to apprehension, Dudzik’s rich, insightful detail addresses all the key elements and challenges that affect a therapy-dog team’s effectiveness in a wide variety of environments. As a result, she carefully connects the dots while not undermining the flow.

    “Developing & Nurturing the Therapy Team Relationship” is not designed to be entertaining, but rather educational and empowering – and it succeeds on all fronts.

A detailed and energetic narrative, it leaves the viewer with the feel that there are no shortcuts for the successful therapy-dog team.
