Note dogs must be friendly with people and dogs and want to visit with people. No fear or barking and lunging. If your dog barks and lunges at people or dogs...private lessons is the right service.
Requirements: Dogs must be up to date on vaccines and must have taken a beginner positive reinforcement training class and an advanced class with us before entering the program. That way all students are at the same level.
Here are a few of our class teams from pet therapy 1 and 2 visiting. From doggy paint night, scavenger hunts, walks and training tricks with youth to visiting seniors. For confidentiality we can't show pictures of the people we we visit, but this gives you an idea of some of our activities.
