We have set new standards to ensure the quality, and safety of our services in the field of canine assisted therapy, and service dog work which is the outmost importance for all, and have developed a highly advanced evaluation exam, and programs for the dogs, and their handlers to adhere to.
We offer comprehensive Therapy Dog training which includes All 3 Levels of AKC Canine Good Citizen, (CGC,CGCA, CGCU) and 10 supervised visits to the many facilities we are involved with. Once the course is completed, you are now a Bonafide Therapy Dog Novice!
If you are visiting our site for the first time, you are here because you're a dog-lover just like us, and you believe in the connection between humans, and canines. You might own a special dog you might like to share with others, while volunteering at one of the many facilities we visit, or need a dog to help you function in your daily life.
whatever you decide to do with your dog, know that the outcome will be rewarding!
Looking to train your new puppy? We offer the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy class, so your fur baby can get off on the right paw.
We offer a generous discount with proper identification to dogs, and puppies that are Adopted from Shelters.
As you are checking out the varied sections of our site, imagine for a second what love, and happiness your Bonafide Therapy Dog would bring to a lonely person's day. The simple act of stroking your pets head can lower blood pressure, and stimulate conversation, and even physical activity in some.
How about a child who is struggling in school with reading?
Dogs make people more relaxed by having a comforting presence. You, and your fur baby could be right next to them doing just that!
