Therapy Dog Training

Therapy dogs go with their owners to volunteer in settings such as schools, hospitals, and nursing homes.  Therapy dogs are not service dogs.  From working with a child who is learning to read, to visiting people in assisted living, therapy dogs and their owners work together as a team to improve the lives of the people they visit.  

To visit most sites, your dog will need therapy dog certification.  One of the most common certification organizations is the Alliance of Therapy Dogs.  We'll work together to ensure your dog passes their certification test.  

The AKC Temperament Test is a title your dog can earn that shows your dog has a sound temperament.  While not required for therapy dogs, it's a great framework for socializing your dog to a variety of stimuli.
