Therapy Dog School

Service Description

Have you always thought your dog would make a great therapy dog? Do they warm up to all types of people, and display a calm temperament in all types of environments and situations? Do you love talking with people and helping brighten the day of others? Therapy dogs help those in need experience the love and support that only an animal can provide to help them thrive. You will learn about: - The animal-human bond - Signs of stress in your dog - Basic obedience for therapy dogs - How to teach safe therapy dog tricks and behaviours - What is required to pass a therapy dog exam (and if your dog will be a good fit) - First hand experience with as much of the exam requirements as possible - How to safely conduct a visit and considerations for various environments - Proper grooming requirements - Training in real-life areas to assess readiness In addition, dogs will be familiarized with equipment such as wheelchairs, crutches and walkers. Therapy dog certification is NOT included in this course – it must be sought through therapy organizations such as St. John Ambulance or Therapeutic Paws of Canada and placed with a facility through those organizations.
