Welcome to Florida's Premier
501(c)3 Charitable Non-Profit
Therapy Dog Organization.
We are dedicated to training dogs, and promoting volunteer services. Therapy Dogs, and their owners bring cheer to a wide variety of facilities such as: Assisted Living, Memory Care, Skilled Nursing, Schools, Hospitals, Cancer Centers, Hospice, Rehab Centers, Libraries, Children's Events, Airports, Police, and Fire Departments, and so much more.
We give you, and your dog the best start!
We don't just train anywhere, our organization has been training dogs for years in Senior Living Facilities, and Rehab Centers. You, and your dog from day one will get acclimated to: wheelchairs, walkers, scooters, and room procedures. This gives you, and your dog the best outcome to succeed as a Bonafide Therapy Dog.
Under our staff page you will see all of our trainers are not only AKC Approved CGC Evaluators, but each one has many years of experience in canine behavior.
We are also members of The Association of Professional Dog Trainers. (APDT)
Our Mission is to:
"Spread love to those in need through our Bonafide Therapy Dogs"
Our Motto is: "Dogs with Heart"
We have set new standards to ensure the quality, and safety of our services in the field of canine assisted therapy since it 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 supervised visits to the many facilities we are involved with.
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.
It will not only be fun for the both of you, but it's so 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.
.
If you are looking to make your dog a Service Dog, we have a program with Licensed Psychologist:
Dr. Janné Lomasky, Psy.D.
(see the program under our more tab) This allows you to enroll in our 3 Level AKC Canine Good Citizen Program, and then do your clinical review with her after your dog graduates!
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!
