A one-hour practice to help prepare for the 10 exercises in the AKC's Canine Good Citizen Test. You may use treats and toys to help practice specific exercises or run through the test without treats/toys to identify where more training is needed. Your dog does not have to be at testing-level as this is not an official test. Dogs who excessively bark, lunge, or growl at other dogs or people would find a better fit in Barky Dog or Reactive Rover classes or workshops. Please email [email protected] with any questions.

In this 6-week course, you and your dog will learn the skills necessary to volunteer to visit hospitals, special needs centers, schools, nursing homes, and other facilities. Therapy dogs need to have a calm and gentle disposition. They must be good around other dogs, calm when strangers pet them all over, not jump on others, walk on a leash without pulling, and not be startled by things such as strange noises, smells, and medical equipment.
This course provides specific instruction to prepare for testing with Alliance for Dogs (formerly TDI), which is an accredited therapy organization through the American Kennel Club (AKC).
