Intro to Therapy Animals

Golden Valley, 2/8/2010 7:00 pm-8:00 pm

Update 2/8/10:  Despite the weather, the show must go on! This class WILL BE HELD as scheduled tonight.

Animals of almost any kind - including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, horses, and more! - can become therapy animals.  Through visits at seniors' homes, rehabilitation centers, schools, hospitals, and other facilities, these special animals bring comfort, learning, and fun to the people they reach.

Join us for an Intro to Therapy Animals class and find out what it takes to become part of an animal-assisted therapy team with your pet.  You will learn:

• What is animal-assisted therapy?
• How do I know if my pet would be a good therapy animal?
• What kinds of training do I and my pet need to be an animal therapy team?
• How can I get involved with the Animal Ambassadors therapy visiting program?

Program is free, but registration is required. (Humans only, please!)

For more information or to register, please call (763) 489-2220 or contact Education online.
