Therapy Dog  

Have you often thought about sharing the joy you feel when your are with your wonderful canine companion with others? Does your dog bring a smile to everyone's face that he encounters?

This program will help you and your canine partner prepare to do visits and activities . Dogs have a remarkable effect on humans based on a bond that has existed for thousands of years. Come and explore the many facets of being a team including the skills needed to make every visit a safe and fulfilling experience. Currently registered working teams will participate to share their experience and give you first hand insight into the wonders of the human-dog bond. At the completion of the program we will schedule evaluations for Delta Society and Therapy Dogs International registration.
