Therapy dogs and their handlers offer comfort and support in any environment where therapy dogs are authorized. They are frequently found in hospitals, nursing homes, and similar settings. These dogs are trained to master basic obedience and execute specific specialty commands designed to provide emotional comfort.

Training your dog to become a Therapy Dog is a profoundly rewarding experience. Upon completion of the training, your dog will be evaluated for the AKC Canine Good Citizen certification by Amanda Lepper.
