THERAPY DOG PRIVATE LESSONS
Our goal is to ensure your dog is comfortable and confident in a variety of settings to help them be successful in their Therapy Dog journey.
​
We offer private lessons in the comfort of your home or in a public space to help prepare you and your dog to pass the certifying tests. These lessons are best suited for dogs at least 8 months of age.
​
We are able to work on a variety of things including basic and advanced skills, proofing behaviors in different locations while adding duration, distance and distractions, socialization and exposure to multiple environments, and practicing those skills in public, pet friendly settings.
​
We require all potential clients wanting to start their dog in our Therapy Dog Private Lessons to complete our Therapy Dog Evaluation. This takes place in a public setting, and allows us to see how your dog reacts to different stimuli in a new environment. The $50 evaluation charge does go towards the cost of a Private Lesson Package of your choosing if they successfully pass the Evaluation. We typically hold evaluations at Chandler Fashion Center, Scottsdale Fashion Square, Desert Ridge Mall or Deer Valley Center.
​
Our Private Lesson services are offered for clients who reside in the greater Phoenix area.
We are sometimes able to assist clients outside of our service area for an additional fee of $2/per mile for zip codes 20 miles outside of 85258.
