As a trusted trainer with Therapy Dog Training UK I am able to offer training and assessments to allow your pet to certify as a therapy dog. The raining process is made up of the following

• Purchasing the 2 workshops needed to enrol in the course https://therapydogtraininguk-s-school-bc46.thinkific.com/bundles/therapy-dog-training-workshops-1-2-course-bundle?ref=30b524
• Complete the initial assessment to check your dog is suitable to become a therapy dog and check for any beahviours needing to be learned or eliminated
• Any training sessions needed to get your dog up to scratch
• Final assessment time!! On completion of the assessment Therapy dog training UK will issue and send out your certificate.
• Uniform will be available to purchase on their website for you and your dog

All therapy dogs need to be over 18 months before completing the final assessment but dogs of any age are welcome to start the process. Dogs will be checked to ensure vaccinations and microchipping are up to date. They will need to know cues such as

• Sit
• Down
• Go to bed
• Door manners
• Extended sits, downs and stays
• Recall
• Neutrality to dogs
• loose lead walking

Once dogs have successfully completed the assessments dogs will be able to go into schools, care homes, hospitals etc but DO NOT have access right into shops as assistance dogs do. All dogs must be insured and inform their insurance they are working.

Prices are:

Initial assessment - £70

Training sessions - £50

Final assessment - £70

Bundle course - £250 (Includes both assessments and 3 training sessions. RRP £290)
