Therapy Dog Classes

A therapy dog is a trained dog that provides comfort and support to individuals in hospitals, nursing homes, schools, and other settings. These dogs are trained to interact with people in a calm and gentle manner, and are often used to help people cope with stress, anxiety, and other emotional challenges. 

Therapy dogs are typically chosen for their temperament and sociability, as well as their ability to be trained to perform certain tasks or behaviors.

Exciting News -- This is our first year of offering Therapy Dog Classes and we have now finished those classes.  We've had several dog become certified Therapy Dogs through Alliance of Therapy Dogs and a few temas are still completeing their observation process.  

Our Therapy Dog Classes are e a 6-week session and the cost is $120 for the 6-week session and payable the first evening of class.

The goal of the class is to prepare dogs and handlers for testing through Alliance of Therapy Dogs.  

Dogs should be friendly with strangers and enjoy being petted/touched by people, know how to sit, walk nicely on a leash and be calm with other dogs in their presence.  

Another session is tentatively planned to start in the Fall 2023.  Email Sandra at  the address below for more information.
