Meet Tobi, the newest addition to Indio Paths. Tobi is a 6 yo Highland Maltie that we adopted from a local shelter. He is training as a therapy dog. Tobi is the sweetest, most loving, gentlest animal to ever grace the planet. He so sincerely wants to please everyone. He loves to cuddle, he has the most adorable floppy ears and big 'ole eyes and he's a very cool, calm dog.

I struggle with depression - and have for many years. As it happens, about the time Tobi came along, I was sinking into a depression again. Tobi is so intuitive, he knows exactly when to come lay his head in my lap. It's almost impossible to be sad with him around. He's so gentle and unconditionally loving. He doesnt care how 'normal' you are or aren't - he's just there to love and support.

Tobi is a natrual therapy dog - so he's being trained as one! A therapy dog is a well trained, well behaved, well groomed dog that provides emotional support when sometimes it's difficult to accept that support from another person. Therapy dogs visit hospitals and attend therapy sessions. They let children read to them and they sit quietly with the elderly. Once he's all trained and ready, he will be tested and certified.

Tobi is well socialized and is great with kids and other animals. He is attending all of my classes and sessions. He is getting consistent training and is working towards full obedience training!
