Become a Therapy Team
We believe that there are no shortcuts to any place worth going. We also believe in setting every one of our handlers and animals up for success. Animal-assisted activities and animal-assisted therapy is serious business which requires knowledge and skill to ensure it is done humanely, safely and effectively. This demands thorough training and rigorous screening of both the handler and animal. We promise to provide you with the necessary expertise and on-going coaching but this will take an investment of your time (and yes, some expense), a commitment to learning and a shared dedication to excellence with us. This is all about teamwork. Do you have what it takes?
