RiverRun Dog Training

 

To belong to Therapy Dogs International (TDI®) all dogs must be tested and evaluated by a Certified TDI Evaluator. A dog must be a minimum of one (1) year of age and have a sound temperament. Each dog must pass a TDI temperament evaluation for suitability to become a Therapy Dog. The test will also include the evaluation of the dog’s behavior around people with the use of some type of service equipment (wheelchairs, crutches, etc.).

Please review the TDI website for more information about the Therapy Dog Program.

All dogs tested will have to pass the TDI evaluation per TDI rules. NOT EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE.

We also have a Therapy Dog Testing Workshop setup for 1/17/16. Please visit website or facebook page for more details.

The cost of testing is $10.     Pre-registration is required, limited spacing is available. Please contact Paula Paula Myer Thomason Via email Riverrundog@aol.com to sign up. Facebook registration will NOT BE excepted.Type your paragraph here.

This workshop is for anyone who would like to practice for the TDI Test even if you are not planning on testing any time soon.
The workshop will help you prepare your dog for all 13 exercises needed to pass the Therapy Dogs International (TDI®) skills test.
Please note that dogs must be 12 months old or older to be tested for TDI. However this workshop is open to all dogs that have taken a basic obedience class.
The cost of this two hour workshop is $50.

This class is open to registered Therapy dog teams who want to sharpen their skills and build confidence for future visits. During this 90 minute class we will review signals your dog is sending you. Review proper approach and greeting of patients, commands that will help keep your dog safe, plus much more.
We have six therapy dog visits planned for this fall and I want to make sure everyone who wants to participate is prepare for these visits.
The cost of this 90 minute class is $35.
