I have to disagree with you on this. I think it is very important to show people, that CSW´s can be used even as therapy dogs. There is never enough of good advertisement for the breed.
Also, you see that Ela mentioned, that:

In november I took a female BETI and I train her for theraphy dog. She already had 3 tests and passed well, we are waiting for an external exam. From the beginning I prepare her to this work.
It is clear that canistherapy (or dogotherapy) cannot be done just by anyone. You have to contact people, train the dog and train yourself, pass tests etc.
Of course, anything can be misused by bad people. But that does not mean that Ela should sit at home. If we would think like this about everything, we´d still sit on trees.
