Our last Bright Spot Therapy Dog Training Class for 2014 started this past Sunday with seven teams in attendance. This year we held more Therapy Dog Training Classes and trained 90% more teams than in 2013. The demand for Therapy Dogs in healthcare and educational environments is so great, we are pleased to be able to offer a larger pool of well-trained Therapy Dogs Teams to fill the needs of these facilities. Another accomplishment as Bright Spot Therapy Dogs celebrates its 10th Anniversary!
The dogs that train with Bright Spot are carefully screened for temperament and level of training, so once they have completed our Therapy Dog Training Class, they are well prepared to take their Therapy Dog evaluation.
We are working on our 2015 training schedule and will post it on our website once the first class date has been determined. For those interested in becoming certified through Bright Spot, keep checking back to our website. Once a class date is posted, the class fills quickly. Those interested in Therapy Dog work travel from the Boston area and neighboring New England states to get trained and certified through Bright Spot. If you have been thinking of sharing your sweet, gentle, well-trained dog with others in this meaningful way, the New Year is a great time to start!
