Our Bright Spot Therapy Dog Training Course offered at Exercise Finished in Chicopee, Massachusetts, finished up yesterday. Our trainer, Tibby Chase, reported in that everyone finished up strong and she feels the teams are well-prepared to take their evaluations and become certified Therapy Dogs.
I am always very pleased by the feedback we receive – both from our trainers and participants. Our required training course provides a thorough preparation for volunteers teams, enabling them to go out on their own and make meaningful visits to people of all ages in both healthcare and educational settings. Our specialized training course is an important part of what makes Bright Spot the go-to Therapy Dog organization for people from all areas of New England who seek training/evaluation/and certification with a hands-on approach. We are always available to answer questions and concerns that may crop up from time-to-time.
We are offering one more course this year at Animal Alliances, our Northampton, Massachusetts, location. If you have been thinking of getting your dog certified as a Therapy Dog, now is the time to sign up. The first class begins on November 22nd. Go to our website for details on registration and the steps involved in becoming a certified Bright Spot Therapy Dog. Training now, will have you and your dog ready to go out visiting in the New Year. A great gift to give yourself and your dog to start off 2016!
