One of the main reasons for certifying a therapy dog, in addition to the education, is the insurance you get when they are certified. If one's dog gets stressed due to a loud noise or a rough hug, or an uncomfortable situation and nips someone,, or destroys property, and pulls put an IV etc., you are legally liable and can be sued. That is the reason most nursing home, and hospital usually insist on certified therapy dogs.
