Therapy Dog Training Classes
Our Therapy Dog Training classes are specifically designed to assist you and your dog in every stage of the training and process to become a Certified Therapy Team! Each class meets for 6 weeks and costs $199.
Registration is only guaranteed upon payment. Your registration attests that your dog will be up to date on all medical requirements by the start of class. You can view all of our class policies here.
We require the following vaccines: Distemper/Parvo, Bordetella, Rabies, 1st round of Canine Influenza and a Negative Fecal Exam. Fecal exams can take a few days to process, so please plan accordingly.
