Petsmart also advised me to go ahead and redo there intermediate training course sinse we haven't taken it in a year and then go on the the clicker training course; which i am happy to do since training is always a good thing, so i don't mind. However, I was wondering if any Yters out there have had there furbaby therapy dog trained or any other animal that they owned? AND if so could you tell me some more about it? Lexi and I love visiting and socializing...and would love to be involved in such an organization...I used to be a Family Servise Specialist at United Cerebral Palsey and Loved it, I really enjoy working with those who are in need, i would love to get lexi involved in such an organization. Thank you for your help and info in advance. |

I think therapy dogs have to be certified sanine good citizens before going through the therapy training. hope this helps! I'm going to try to get Banks certified, but he's still a puppy, so we're just working on the basics right now. Let me know how it goes.
