THERAPY PREPARATION CLASS - This class is available to graduates of the Off-Leash Program or the Advanced Class. Although the Canine Good Citizen Certification is not a requirement of a Registered Therapy Dog, we require you first achieve the CGC & CCGC prior to the Therapy Preparation Class.
The Therapy Preparation class will guide you and your canine companion through the necessary steps to become a Registered Therapy Team. Therapy Teams have an opportunity to give back to their community in a variety of settings. Therapy Dogs are welcome in Nursing Homes, Hospitals, Schools and a variety of other facilities.
The first meeting will be in a Canine Academy Training Center where we will educate you on the requirements of a Therapy Dog, by introducing your dog to wheel chairs, walkers and other distractions they will encounter. We will also supply you with the necessary information needed to register the dog for testing upon completion of the class.
The next two meetings will be in actual Assisted Living Facilities. Your trainer will guide you and your dog as you introduce them to the residents and staff.
The final meeting will be your official testing date with Therapy Dog International "TDI". The testing will be administered by a TDI Tester in Canine Academy's Training Center.
