I have been taking Hope to Petsmart for training classes. There is a series of classes she needs to take and a test to pass to be certified as a Therapy Dog. I do take her everywhere because she is my emotional support dog (I have a letter from my Dr. for this) but I wanted her to be certified so that I could take her to nursing homes and Hospice where I volunteer. My Dad is in a nursing home and has a dog that visits him every week which he looks so forward to. Good luck with your training. |
