NEXT THERAPY DOG WORKSHOP WILL RUN IN JAN 2026!

What is a Therapy Dog?

Therapy Dogs are special dogs that enjoy human engagement and bring smiles, comfort, and joy to people in places that need it most. Every Great Therapy Dog handlers volunteer their time in schools, children’s hospitals, rehabilitation centers, hospitals, library reading programs, assisted living facilities, and more with their dog.

How does my dog become a therapy dog?

Our Therapy Dog workshop is designed to build confidence and capability so that therapy teams can provide safe, meaningful, and impactful experiences wherever they serve.

Our program has three components: 

  1. Dog Behavior Skills

  2. Client Interaction Skills

  3. Teamwork

PUP NOTE!

This is NOT a beginners class, it is expected your dog has a good foundation of obedience and is calm in public
