Therapy Dog

Does your dog enjoy people?  Would you like to make a difference in your community?  If you answered yes to both of these questions then volunteering as a therapy dog team might be just for you! 

After your dog passes the CGC (Canine Good Citizen Test) you are eligible to enroll in the Therapy Dog Class.  You will learn the skills needed to visit in the facilities of your choice, such as hospitals, nursing homes, libraries, physical therapy centers, and schools, by practicing  in simulated situations. 

A free preview to the therapy dog class for CGC graduates will be offered once a month to answer any questions.   Becoming a therapy dog team is a great opportunity for unique and rewarding experiences! 

Please contact the Training School at (763) 489-2217 to register for upcoming preview classes.  Prospective students must already have the CGC certification.  You can learn more about the CGC by clicking http://www.akc.org/events/cgc/
