Important information about pet therapy certification
The Pet Therapy Test and Guidelines
Congratulations on wanting to train your dog for pet therapy!
Therapy Dogs are not Service Dogs. They provide comfort for those they visit.
Our therapy dog training program includes training for The Bright and Beautiful Therapy Dog test and familiarizing handlers with the Guidelines. We also discuss Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) and resources for those that want to learn more about this exciting field.
Dorice Stancher, MBA, CPDT-KA, CTDI, AACE has more than 18 years as a therapy handler and has led the team at Camp Dream Street for children with cancer as well as presented at the Morristown Hospital Pet Therapy conference.
