I wasn't talking about to be a therapy dog. but the exercises required to pass the Canine Good Citizen test. It takes a certain type of personality for a dog to do therapy work.That's probably true but I feel like if the dog doesn't enjoy it it's not really fair to either and best not to force it. The dog may be able to listen to the handler and tolerate it but imo, to be a good therapy dog, and the whole point of the thing, is that they love people and comforting them and doing their "job", which a therapy dog is.

For the CGC, simply putting the dog in a stand-stay and expecting them to let a friendly stranger pat their head and pick up their feet is a basic life-skill.
