A good Therapy Dog has a friendly, outgoing personality. A good Therapy Dog is at ease meeting new people and going into strange places. A good Therapy Dog is gentle and well-mannered. Does this describe your dog? Have you been thinking of certifying your dog to be a Therapy Dogs? Our next Bright Spot Therapy Dog Training class will take place at our Northampton location (Animal Alliances on Damon Road) May 18th and June 1st.
Bright Spot Therapy Dogs make a world of difference in the lives of the people they visit in nursing homes, hospitals, mental health facilities, Alzheimer’s Units, hospice care, schools, and libraries. Over 15oo lives are touched each week by visits from our Bright Spot Therapy Dog Teams. That’s 6,000 people – young and old – a month, 72,000 people a year. You could add to that number by sharing your well-trained, gentle dog with others.
Our Bright Spot Therapy Dog Training Class is the first step in becoming certified. The Class prepares you and your well-trained dog with the skills and techniques they need to make successful visits in health care or educational environments.
Our Therapy Dog Training Classes are kept small to insure that you and your dog receive personal attention. The Classes are interactive and fun.

There is no greater reward then watching your dog brighten the life of a hospice patient in her final days, or watching a struggling young reader confidently read a story to your dog. Simply… No greater reward.
