Have you looked into Therapy Dog classes? That will help you determine if it's a good fit for you and him. It may be a good fit... it may not. If he doesn't enjoy it, it's not worth it.
My 6 month old is in Therapy Dog classes on advice of a trainer who observed her focus w/ people. So we are training her for this, but it still might not be the right fit. Right now, she seems to love it. But it's got to be about her, and not me.
