I have been doing pet therapy work with my dogs for eight years. I love every minute of it and as important so do the dogs. I am a member of Bright and Beautiful therapy Dogs. June Golden is the president. I have also been a member of TDI ( Therapy Dogs International). Both are great groups. Their requirements are similar to the Good Citizen ones., but not the same. Therapy requirements are tougher. If your dog can pass the therapy requirements, the Good Citizen are a breeze.
The group to which you associate depends on where you live and your own comfort, but basic commands must be mastered. Each group has a little different set, so check out the groups in your area.
