Clinical studies have proven that animals have the power to help people heal. Simply petting, touching or talking to animals can improve physical health and emotional well-being. You and your dog can have a dramatic impact on the lives of people in any health care setting, such as:
- Schools and libraries,
- Assisted living centers,
- Nursing homes,
- Hospitals and psychiatric centers
This program will prepare your dog for therapy dog work and provide you the opportunity to join the teams that visit.
The class ends with the opportunity to take the AKC Canine Good Citizen Test and the Therapy Dog Incorporated test. Once your team (you and your dog) pass the test, three observation visits to a public institution are required before you can register as a therapy dog team.
