Pets must have two distemper, parainfluenza and parvo vaccines, a clear fecal check and if your pet is six months or older, a rabies vaccine per MI law.

Note, if you don't have a copier, I can borrow your record(s) at the first class and return your original at the following class.
Note: Bordetella is recommended if your pet will be boarded during classes, at a groomer salon, in public parks or at day care facilities due to the higher percentage of possible infection.

Therapy Dog Training Interest? Due to many different types of programs, bring a note to your first class stating what venue you wish to pursue (hospital, nursing home, school, library reading, etc.).
There are many AKC clubs in the SE MI area that offer Canine Good Citizen testing. This test is usually a base requirment for those pursuing therapy certifications. My O&M Two and Two Plus offer practice for same.
'Fake' Documentaton: An 'on line' certification available for a fee does a huge disservice to the Therapy Dog programs. Please do not undermine the decades of work to provide people with a genuine interest in volunteering to make the world a better place for those truly in need. I will not participate or support the purchasing of 'fake' certifications which exploit the system.
PETS DO attend the first class!
Only ONE TRAINER and ONE PET at class. NO household members, children or guests without instructor permission as seating space is limited.
Bring to the first class: Health updates (if any), supplies from the last class, including your pet's 'park it' rug.
Group class times will be set by training level by the instructor.
