Therapy Dog Training

Therapy dog preparation training - Prepare your dog for pet therapy visits to schools, hospitals, and nursing homes (or for working with your own clients) with individual training sessions and a customized training plan*!

Discover the joy of assisting others in exploring the benefits of human-animal bonding. Time with therapy animals can promote mental, physical, and social wellbeing. Training sessions typically take place in pet friendly stores, public parks, in your home, in your office, or any other pet friendly location convenient for you. My service area includes all of Baltimore City and nearby areas, I am sometimes able to meet clients further away for an additional travel fee - I also have virtual or hybrid options available for training sessions.

* Training plan is customized to address any problem areas presented or those identified by my temperament assessments; therapy dog prep aims to teach cues and tricks that will promote success during pet therapy visits; therapy dog prep training does not guarantee a passing test result with any organization upon training completion. Requirements and standards vary among certifying organizations, these can be discussed during training session but will also require independent research and application.

Therapy dog preparation training sessions may include focus in these areas:

→ Basic manners & obedience cues

→ Temperament assessments

→ Socialization, confidence building

→ Tricks & Trick Dog titles

→ Canine Good Citizen prep

→ Safety & humane approaches
