Introduction to Animal Assisted Therapy

Learn how to train your dog to become an Animal Assisted Therapy Partner.

Your dog should be at least 10 months old, have lived in your house at least 6 months and should respond to basic obedience commands (sit, down, stay, etc.) and be able to walk on a loose lead. Handlers must be 18 or older to attend the class.

The course is not a basic obedience class. It includes instruction on hand signals, getting your dog to work for others, and an introduction to the games used in our therapy work to help improve/enhance verbal and motor skills.

Register early! The kids are waiting to meet you and your friendly dog!

This course is a requirement for membership in Rainbow Animal Assisted Therapy.

FEE for 6 hours of instruction:
$100 for one handler
$150 for two handlers
Pre-Registration is required. Click here for a registration form.

More than 90% of Rainbow programs are conducted during weekday hours. The majority of these programs accommodate the special needs of children.

Please note: there is additional training required (no additional fees) to work in a Rainbow hospital program.
