Therapy Dog Class – $299

While it’s important to have good control of your dog, the idea of therapy dog work is having your dog interact with other people, not just you. How do you allow your dog to interact and be touched by people without them getting too excited or overwhelmed? In class, you will:

  • Learn how to tell when your dog is no longer having a good time and what to do. We’ll create scenarios that allow you to read your dog’s stress signals and teach you the skills to react accordingly. You’ll also learn how to know when your dog has had enough and how to end the visit happily.
  • Practice multi-tasking by handling your dog through various scenarios, because during a visit, you’ll need to be aware of what’s going on around you as well as what’s going on with your dog. Through these teaching scenarios, your confidence and your ability to handle any situation will increase greatly.
  • Build teamwork skills by exposing your dog to a variety of elements such as loud noises, maneuvering in tight spaces, slippery floors, strange objects and toys, medical equipment and strange vocalizing and body movements. This creates the strong relationship needed to make a therapy dog team that is a joy to watch.
  • Learn silent cues to make your handling invisible to those around you
