Train Your Dog to Make a Difference — Supported, Every Step of the Way

Our Therapy Dog Training Program is designed for caregivers who want to create a calm, confident companion capable of providing comfort, connection, and support in a variety of community settings.

Whether you’re visiting schools, aged care, hospitals, or simply want to help others this self-paced program gives you the tools and guidance to make it happen. This isn’t just an online course—we walk alongside you the entire journey.

Our program focuses on more than obedience. We help you raise a calm, confident, and emotionally resilient dog ready to interact gently with people in need.

This program is ideal for:

  • Individuals wanting to train their own dog for therapy work

  • People working in education, aged care, allied health or mental health

  • Those seeking support, flexibility, and professional guidance without rushing the process

What You’ll Learn

Our program focuses on more than obedience. We help you raise a calm, confident, and emotionally resilient dog ready to interact gently with people in need.

You and your dog will learn:

  • Foundations of calm behaviour in various environments
  • Social neutrality and impulse control
  • How to handle novel environments and distractions
  • Practical therapy dog skills like greeting politely, staying settled, and walking nicely on lead
  • Handler skills to support your dog during visits
  • Ethical considerations and boundaries in therapy settings

We help you prepare for real-life situations so your dog can thrive—not just perform.

Please note: Therapy dogs are not assistance or service dogs, and this program does not provide public access certification.
