Class DescriptionThis class will prepare you and your dog to take the tests for Therapy Dog and the AKC's Canine Good Citizen title. We provide you with tips and coaching to help your team shine!
We are affiliated with Comfort Caring Canines Therapy Dogs, LLC, however, if you want to test with another organization, please let us know. Dogs that have trained with us and passed the Therapy Dog test are regularly visiting hospitals, nursing homes, senior centers, memory care units, schools (reading programs and counselor office), working with adults with disabilities, attending funerals, visiting local offices, colleges, and doing demonstrations at summer camps, libraries, girl scouts, township events and career days. What a fabulous way to give to your community! Class StructureEach week, we will practice different test requirements, which will let you know what to expect, and be aware of the items that may need some practice. The Canine Good Citizen test will be given at the last class. The therapy dog test will be scheduled for another date and location. Please note that taking this class does not guarantee that you and/or your dog will pass either test.
All dogs need to have basic obedience training, and be able to perform in a group environment. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS CLASS DOES NOT TEACH THE REQUIREMENTS AND SKILLS TO PASS THE TESTS. THE CLASS PREPARES YOU TO TAKE THE TESTS. If you need training assistance before this class, please refer to our other classes or private lessons. We always need extra people to assist in this class, so if possible, please bring people with you to each class! Instructor: Leah Pacitto Cost: $275.00 for 6 weeks - 1 hour lesson Topics Covered
