Therapy Dog Training - Evaluation and Test
6-week class- costs $200
This training class will be held;
session 1 - The Doghouse, our facility
session 2 - Lowe's
session 3,4,5,6 - Nursing facility
Something Els Dog School evaluates for Therapy Dogs United.
This class is suitable for dogs older than 1 year old, that have finished one of our Household Obedience classes with us and also have passed the AKC Canine Good Citizen's Test.
New dogs trained for therapy have obedience training as a benchmark for how equipped they are to function as therapy dogs. It is much more than just teaching new tricks. Specialized skills are necessary to help deal with any nervousness or discomfort a dog may express when in therapeutic settings.
This is why Something Els Dog School works with you and your dog on location in a small group setting, with 4 dogs or fewer.
According to the AKC, your dog is eligible to take the CGC evaluation at any age, however, if your dog receives his/her CGC certificate prior to turning one year old (12 months of age) you MUST retake the CGC exam as part of TDU's therapy dog certification process. If your dog receives a passing grade from a Certified CGC Evaluator who is not working directly through TDU, we reserve the right to retest your dog as part of our therapy dog certification process. If it has been longer than 24 months since your dog was certified with the CGC, you will be required to retake and pass the CGC prior to your Therapy Dog evaluation.
We are proud of our great Therapy Dog Training program!
