What’s the difference between a therapy dog, service dog, and ESA?
Therapy dogs are trained to provide comfort and support to multiple people in settings such as hospitals, schools, and nursing homes. Service dogs are individually trained to perform specific tasks for a person with a disability, while emotional support animals provide comfort to their owners but are not trained to perform specific disability-related tasks.
Do you offer therapy dog certification?What’s included in a full dog grooming service?
Our therapy dog training program prepares dogs for therapy work by developing the obedience, social skills, temperament, and behavior needed in environments such as hospitals, schools, and rehabilitation centers. Contact our team to discuss the training and certification process for your dog.
What breeds make good therapy dogs?
Many breeds and mixed-breed dogs can be suitable for therapy work. Temperament is generally more important than breed. Good candidates are typically calm, friendly, comfortable around different people, responsive to their handler, and able to remain composed in unfamiliar environments.
Where can therapy dogs work?
Therapy dogs may work with their handlers in settings such as hospitals, nursing homes, schools, rehabilitation centers, and other facilities where animal-assisted interaction is appropriate. Access depends on the policies and requirements of each individual facility.
How long does therapy dog training take?
The training timeline depends on your dog’s age, temperament, existing obedience skills, socialization, and readiness for therapy work. An initial assessment can help determine what training your dog needs and the appropriate path toward therapy work.
