Therapy Dog Evaluations - 8/23

Melissa on Activities - Fri, August 15 2008

I have two spots left. If any of you are interested in volunteering with your dog to visit hospitals, schools, nursing homes, and libraries please let me know! Certification offered through "Therapy Dogs International" to qualified handlers and their dogs. Certification includes volunteer insurance.

For information on test requirements visit www.tdi-dog.org

If you're interested but don't think your dog is quite ready for the evaluation, feel free to contact me (574-242-0766) about some of the practice tests we'll be hosting this weekend and early next week.

We will also be discussing the opportunity to join a local TDI chapter group. We plan on doing fun outings on a regular basis.

Think of the fun we IP pals would have in a TDI chapter group! Come on - give it a try. Nothing like having fun, giving back and learning with your favorite buddy!

Mom said she'd like me to do that eventually. Especially since I'm so good with young kids. BUT, she also says I'm far from ready. Can't handle other dogs or canes yet.

She said Sheila could do it, but has been getting stressed as she gets older Maybe not such a good idea.

I just need a dog, and I would definitely be interested. That has always been a goal of mine to do therapy! And please don't tell me of eligible dogs right now (have to wait until we have a house!)

I'm not going to tell you of any that are available, BUT you could borrow someone's dog for this sort of thing.

You can also get a certification for cats through Delta Society's Pet Partners.
