About Canine Link

What Do Canine Link Teams Do?

As a therapy dog team, you and your dog can provide emotional support and begin to improve people’s lives in health care, educational, and other community facilities. Therapy dog visits have been shown to have positive impacts on many, including critically ill patients, children learning to read, individuals with developmental disabilities, and veterans returning home from service.

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.
