This group allows handlers and dogs the opportunity to train and work in a group to teach people about the benefits of therapy dogs and the work that they do.

Therapy Dog

Because of all the interest in our therapy dog classes and training programs, we decided to offer therapy dogs and their handlers a group so that they could network and exchange information and ideas about their work and adventures as therapy dog handlers. This group also provides therapy dog teams with opportunities to work as well as providing school, nursing homes, group homes and similar facilities with a pool of qualified teams to come and volunteer at their facilities.
