About Canine Link
What Do Canine Link Teams Do?
How Can My Dog And I Become A Canine Link Team?
After an initial evaluation, volunteers and their dogs are certified as Canine Link teams by graduating from our eight sessions of beginner and advanced therapy training program. Your dog must be healthy, loving, have a good temperament, and be at least 1 year old. Handlers and their dogs must display an understanding of basic obedience. No dogs with fear or reactivity towards humans or other dogs can be accepted into class.
