From Family Dog to Certified Therapy Dog
One-on-one work with a professional trainer builds the rock-solid, calm obedience therapy work demands — around wheelchairs, strangers, sudden noises, and other dogs.
Upon successful completion of the program, we can evaluate and certify you and your dog through Therapy Pets Unlimited. Many of our former clients easily pass their therapy dog certification after training.
Therapy work is a team sport — the lessons train you as much as your dog, because the handler is half of every therapy visit.

Therapy Dog FAQs

What kind of dog makes a good therapy dog?
