Description
Volunteering, to share the enthusiastic-nonjudgmental love of your dog with those in need, is a special kind of joy. Sometimes dogs and their handlers just require a bit of training to make the dream of volunteering a reality, or for those already volunteering, to take their skills to the next level. This advanced group class emphasizes teaching the handler and dog to work together in a confident relationship, developing the knowledge and skills necessary to be an excellent therapy dog team. Group classes involve information on the therapy dog approval process in the Vancouver area, practice of typical therapy dog test items, and instruction on developing skills that will give you and your dog confidence during therapy dog visits. Positive reinforcement training techniques including food rewards, praise, cue words, and hand signals will be used to guide the human-dog teams in learning to communicate with each other. All this, in a stress-free environment designed to be fun for you and
