Animal Assisted Therapy - Level One

Have you ever thought about volunteering with your dog doing "Pet Therapy"? This class prepares dog and handler teams to visit chronic and acute care facilities including hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes and library reading programs.

		These classes will help prepare dog/handler teams to take the American Kennel Club's Canine Good Citizen certification examination as well as the national certifications offered by various groups including The Delta Society, Bright and Beautiful Therapy Dogs, TheraPet and Therapy Dogs International. For more information on Animal Assisted Activities, Animal Assisted Therapy and Animal Assisted Crisis Response please go to the Dogs In Service website.
