professional dog trainers 

If you are considering becoming a registered Therapy Team with your animal, here is some good stuff to know.  Before you can begin the process, you and your animal must have good foundational obedience skills including a reliable “sit”, “down”, “stay”, “come when called” and “leave it”. Your animal should be able to walk at your side with a loose leash. Most importantly, you and your animal must have a great relationship! 

Precise obedience skills are not required, however the handler must have control of their animal at all times while visiting. You need to be observant; work together as a team; anticipate your animal’s responses, behavior and positions; and be able to redirect your animal as needed. If you feel you need more training, it is highly recommended that both you and your animal enroll in a positive-reinforcement/force free dog obedience course or therapy team preparatory course.  

Below is a list of dog trainers who support these methods and work hand-in-hand with CAREing Paws and CAREing Paws Teams.
