Therapy Dog Certification Clinics

Two-hour clinic for anyone wanting to know how they can prepare for TDV certification. Participants will experience the full TDV test in the first hour of the clinic (with blow-by-blow description of what we’re looking for, what we fail for, and why we do each part of the test). The second hour will involve hands-on work/advice with the teams based on results from the test.
