Have you ever thought about making a difference in the world? Do you have a well-behaved dog with a good temperament that loves human contact?
If you answered yes to these questions, Mid-Michigan Therapy Dogs, Inc. may be able to help you and your canine buddy make a difference.
Mid-Michigan Therapy Dogs, Inc. offers twelve-week training sessions in the spring and fall every year. We meet once a week and sessions include classroom instruction in Goodrich, MI and field trips with a variety of interactions at various locations. This allows the training team to observe how your dog will react in various situations, and to help evaluate you both as a working therapy dog team. Throughout class, the Trainers will be working with you and your dog constantly. They are there for you and your dog and we want you both to be a success!
