THERAPY DOG TESTING
Therapy Dogs United Certification
A therapy dog certified with Therapy Dogs United provides the catalyst for positive change by motivating individuals with health conditions or impairments. We open dialogue with the abused, disabled, sick, lonely, injured or depressed. Our programs inspire learning and change - and include everyone!
​
TDU's dedicated team of certified therapy dog handlers is personally committed to bringing joy and inspiration to every human life we touch. It’s not just our personal commitment - it’s our mission.
Training Prerequisites
The dog must be 1 year old or older and needs to pass Canine Good Citizen first. We offer the CGC test here, but if you took it elsewhere, that is no problem! We will just need to see your certificate.
Therapy Training
To help you prepare for the therapy dog certification, we offer 1on1 training opportunities that last 1 hour.
These can take place both at our facility and off-site in public settings.
