Therapy/CGC Prep

Not to be confused with service dogs, therapy dogs are used to help comfort those in hospitals, nursing homes, schools, and more. The most important thing about a therapy dog is his behavior: is he friendly with people and other dogs? Does he welcome attention from adults and children? Will he react if someone makes a loud noise? These are all skills your dog will need to be a CGC and/or a therapy dog! Our 6 week prep class will help you polish your dog's skills so you're ready to pass your certification. You can learn more about the AKC's Canine Good Citizen program here.
Prerequisite:

Nosework

Nosework is a fun and fast growing sport where dogs search for essential oil, similar to drug or bomb detection dogs. Because nosework relies on a dog's instinct to smell, it's a great confidence booster! It's a sport for ALL dogs and especially ideal for dogs needing more confidence, injured dogs, and senior dogs.

Our introductory class focuses on odor recognition, finding & staying at the source, and handler cues.

Prerequisite:

Completion of Basic Manners or instructor approval

Price:

$160 for a six-week class that meets for 50 minutes, once a week. Price also includes introductory odors & containers.
