Professional Therapy Dog Education and Training Program

Caring K9 Philosophy:
Building on the existing relationships between owners and their dogs the Caring K-9 Institute trains people on how to develop their dog’s skills and provides an opportunity and outlet for a K-9 team to be of service to different groups of vulnerable populations who could benefit from positive interactions with a fun-loving, patient and friendly dog and their human. The training is offered in various modalities including classroom settings, outdoor adventure challenges, public locations and basic internet course work and e-training. We welcome dogs and people of all shapes and sizes and know that each dog can bring a different skill set to therapeutic interactions. Though not all dogs may have the right temperament for therapy work, we believe ALL BREEDS have the potential to become therapy dogs.
