Therapy Dog Workshop (Pet Partners Handler Course)
 
      The successful completion of a Pet Partners Therapy Dog Handler Course is required to become a registered Pet Partners Therapy Dog Team. Pet Partners highly recommends "in-person" workshops over online courses. Unlike online courses, our workshops are hands-on and provide unique opportunities for attendees to practice therapy visits with Registered Pet Partners Therapy Dogs, and ask questions of experienced therapy dog teams. Our workshops also include simulated run-throughs of the Pet Partners Therapy Team Evaluation Test. In fact, Pet Partners has found that those who complete an instructor-led workshop are more likely to pass their real Therapy Team Evaluation Test on the first attempt.

   Conducted by licensed Pet Partners instructors, our workshops teach you the skills necessary to safely visit with your dog in environments such as hospitals, classrooms, libraries, elder care facilities, psychiatric facilities, correctional facilities, and more.

   Among other things, our workshops cover:

  • Preparing yourself and your dog for visits
  • Policies and procedures of Therapy Dog visits
  • Identifying and decreasing stress in your dog
  • Dog health and safety
  • Special needs of specific therapy client groups
  • How to interact with different types of people
  • Facility health and safety codes
  • Patient confidentiality

   Upon successful completion of our workshop, you will receive a Certificate of Completion and the Registration Packet for becoming a Registered Pet Partners Therapy Dog Team.
