This is what a Therapy Dog is and this is what our Therapy Dog Program trains you and your dog to be able to do.

You see, a Therapy Dog is a dog that provides comfort to others but is certified as a Therapy Dog with his or her handlers. We provide everything that is needed to train your dog to do this work, work with you to succeed in your interaction and building of a strong bond with your dog and to take you through the rigorous training and testing so that you and your dog can be certified to do this type of work.

And, a nice added benefit is that you will have an amazingly well trained and obedient dog that will blow your mind and the minds of your friends, family and neighbors who wish their dogs responded like yours! And they can, if you call America’s K-9 Caring Angels Dog Training for a free Evaluation.

Before we agree to start training your dog, we always want to start with a free, private evaluation with one of our trainers. We want to determine if your dog has the potential for this type of work, what your goals and aspirations are and to determine the best course of action based on your goals and the evaluation. So give us a call or click on the sign up for a free evaluation and one of our trainers will reach out to you to schedule.
