Therapy Dog Program

We rescue/adopt dogs that pass my intense temperament test and we enter them into my minimum 10 week program inspired by Sam Malatesta's Whelping Box Method.

Each dog that completes our program, will achieve the Canine Good Citizen title during training, but we will require the new handler to go through our 6- week Canine Good Citizen class, as well as the 6-week Therapy Dog Prep Class to ensure the team is best prepared for therapy work and for handling the dog.

If you are interested and would like more information

please feel free to give Emily Smith a call/text (269) 903-6384.
