Introduction to Animal Assisted Therapy

Class Description
​Our Introduction to Animal Assisted Therapy course is not a basic obedience class, rather, it will help prepare you and your dog to serve others and help our program participants reach their goals. We will also introduce the games and activities used in our therapy work. You'll learn new ways to interact with your favorite canine and you'll both have some fun along the way. Completion of this course is required for membership at Rainbow Animal Assisted Therapy.
