Understanding the Magic of Therapy Dogs:

Therapy dogs are superheroes with wagging tails, providing emotional support, comfort, and companionship to those in need. Whether it’s comforting patients in hospitals, assisting individuals with disabilities, or bringing smiles to nursing home residents, therapy dogs have the unique ability to bring joy and healing to people’s lives.

The Puptown Houston Difference:

At Puptown Houston, we understand that not all dogs are cut out for therapy work. That’s why our therapy dog training program is designed to identify and cultivate the qualities necessary for a successful therapy dog. Our experienced trainers will guide you and your dog through a comprehensive training curriculum, focusing on obedience, socialization, and specialized skills required for therapy work. With our personalized approach and attention to detail, we ensure that every therapy dog team is prepared for their noble mission.

Building a Solid Foundation:

A therapy dog’s journey begins with a strong foundation of basic obedience and socialization. Our trainers will work closely with you and your pup to reinforce commands such as “sit,” “stay,” and “heel,” ensuring that your dog is well-behaved and responsive in various environments. We’ll also focus on teaching them to remain calm and composed in challenging situations, a crucial aspect of their role as therapy dogs.

Specialized Training for Therapy Work:

Therapy dog training goes beyond basic obedience. We’ll equip your dog with specialized skills, such as walking calmly on a leash, maintaining appropriate interactions with strangers, and responding to cues from their handler. Our training curriculum also covers desensitization to medical equipment, sound therapy, and scent recognition, preparing your dog for the unique challenges they may encounter during therapy visits.

Preparing for Certification:

Puptown Houston is dedicated to helping your dog achieve certification as a therapy dog. Our trainers will guide you through the certification process, ensuring that you and your pup meet all the necessary requirements. We’ll conduct practice sessions and mock therapy visits, providing valuable feedback to enhance your dog’s performance and boost your confidence as a handler.

Making a Difference Together:

Once certified, you and your therapy dog will have the incredible opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of countless individuals. From hospitals and schools to retirement homes and rehabilitation centers, you’ll bring smiles, comfort, and hope to those who need it most. The bond between you and your therapy dog will grow stronger as you witness the transformative power of their presence in the lives of others.
