Therapy Dog Information

 The Clinton County Canine Club's therapy dog class prepares dog/handler teams for therapy dog evaluation. The teams are then certified to visit hospitals, schools, and other facilities in the area.

One therapy dog organization active in the area is Aliance of Therapy Dogs.  Information on Alliance of Therapy Dog membership requirements can be found here.  To become members, dog and handler teams must pass an evaluation and complete several supervised visits. 

The American Kennel Club (AKC) has a program for earning Therapy Dog titles. Information on the AKC Therapy Dog Program can be found here.

They also have a great article explaining the difference between Service, Therapy, Working, and Emotional Support Dogs.

The Canine Journal has a similar article explaining the difference between Service Dogs, Therapy Dogs, and Emotional Support Dogs.

Detailed information on the Clinton County Canine Club's Therapy Dog Class is available here.
