Well I gave you my thoughts on this already, but I'll go ahead and tack it onto this new thread:

I do not think a good therapist would put her needs over yours. One of my friends IRL is a psychologist who takes her dog with her to sessions. For the clients who don't like the dog (she has only a couple of those), she simply shuts him into another room in his crate and they never see him at all. If your own therapist doesn't have that alternative, then she should leave her dog at home or kennel him on days when she has clients who are uncomfortable with a dog present. For myself, I would never want a dog present during therapy (nothing against dogs, but I wouldn't want a distraction). However, some people (particularly my friend's child clients) do like her dog and are more comfortable with him present.

Having thought about this since your original post, I'm pretty sure I could never go to a therapist who brought a dog in. Because I would have to ask him to leave the dog out when I'm there, and I'd be afraid I was making him feel bad by doing so. So the whole situation just wouldn't work.

My friend IRL mentioned that her dog mostly just looks at her or lays on his back and lets her clients pet him during the session. But even the fact that she notices that much would be too much attention on the dog in my opinion! I want therapy to be focused completely on me!
