The Therapy Dog Training package is designed to help your dog learn to provide comfort, affection, and emotional support in various settings, such as hospitals, nursing homes, schools, libraries, hospices, and disaster areas. Therapy dogs play a vital role in offering emotional relief to individuals in need, and this training prepares your dog to bring joy and companionship to those in these environments.

During the training, we focus on building your dog's ability to interact calmly and gently with people of all ages and backgrounds, ensuring they are well-mannered in public spaces. Additionally, we offer guidance on specific skills required for therapy work, such as maintaining composure around medical equipment, staying calm in crowded or noisy environments, and responding to cues reliably in high-pressure situations.

Before beginning the training, we conduct an assessment to evaluate your dog's temperament and suitability for therapy work. This ensures that your dog’s personality aligns with the requirements needed for effective therapy dog training. If your dog has the right disposition, we will provide the necessary steps to prepare them for this rewarding and impactful role.
