Once again, this popular therapy dog training class was FULL with a wait list established to notify those who missed out when the next beginners class will be held.
The workshops are designed to teach the dog and handler to work as a team. They are taught the skills and techniques they need to know to pass the Bright Spot Therapy Dog evaluation and start visiting as a certified therapy dog team. The class is interactive with handlers posing as patients. This group really got into it making the class a fun learning experience. Before we knew it, the class had run 20 minutes over. All the teams were great and show excellent potential as upcoming Bright Spots.
We will hold an Advanced Therapy Dog Training Workshop on September 30th at True Blue Dog Training. This class will build on the skills taught in the Beginners, setting up more complex visiting scenarios. I’m hoping today’s participants will sign up for this class. They’re certainly ready for it.
If you have taken the Beginners Workshop sometime in the past and would like to take the Advanced Training, go to the Bright Spot website for complete details about time, place, and registration. Bright Spot is hoping to recruit many more well-trained teams to help us meet the demand for certified therapy dogs we receive from healthcare and educational programs and facilities.
