Therapy Dog Certification Clinics

Learn about what it takes to be a great therapy dog team from the certification experts at Therapy Dogs of Vermont.

2 1/2 Hour Certification Clinics: $85/dog

Our clinic is for anyone wanting to prepare for TDV certification.

  • Participants experience the complete Therapy Dogs of Vermont certification test, along with explanations and tips related to each component of the test.
  • Includes instructions on training techniques and commands useful for therapy dog work.  Each team also receives individual feedback about their performance on the test.
  • Clinics are given in various locations throughout the year.
  • 100% of clinic fees go directly to supporting TDV programs.

TDV's testing requirements may be satisfied by this clinic; if teams meet the testing requirements at a clinic, they still must complete three evaluations and all other requirements.
