Yes. No special class is needed – but the test is extremely challenging for any dog that has not gone through formal therapy dog and advanced obedience training.

Is it possible for my fox terrier to be qualified as therapy dog without a six weeks class?

Hi there,
I am currently living in Oklahoma but in the process of moving to Austin Texas. I have been very interested in getting my dog involved in therapy work. She is incredibly sweet with excellent temperament. She is a German Shepard mix, her name is Bailey, she just turned one year, but has a way with people that I have never seen. Crazy to say this may be her “calling”? Any who, I am hoping to get as much info as possible. I am hoping to move in the next few months and would love to get her started immediately, and who better to go with then delta?!? I think it’s an incredible opportunity for both dogs and people.

Thanks!
Savannah

Hi Kristin. You might want to contact the Delta Society to see about training programs in your area, as we do not yet have any locations in Washington state.

Hi D,

If you live near one of our Zoom Room locations, we can certainly help, as we provide therapy dog training at all of our centers. As your dog is now young, you’ll simply want to begin with basic obedience training, then progressing to more advanced obedience until you and your dog are able to pass the Canine Good Citizen test. At that point, you’ll be all set to begin therapy dog training. You can find your nearest location at http://zoomroom.me/locate.

All best,
Your friends at the Zoom Room

My name is D and i work in a nursing home. I have a 10 week old border collie blue heeler mix pup named nixi and my work place is pet friendly. I have taken her up there to met a few people and she does very good not jumping up or barking and is very sweet. i would like to have her become a therapy dog so she can come to work with me a few times a week so she isn’t at home alone all the time. i was wondering what steps i should take to get her in therapy traing now while she is so young and still learning. can you help?

Hi Matthew,

That will be so wonderful – bringing your dog with you to Germany to provide support for the servicemen and women in the hospital there. We’re not sure what you mean by an exception. We offer therapy dog training at all Zoom Room locations and would be more than happy to provide training for you and your dog. Please simply contact your local Zoom Room to find out the current training schedule. If you’re in a rush, they can also provide therapy dog training via private sessions instead of the group class setting. You can find a list of all Zoom Room locations at http://zoomroom.me/locate.

All best regards,

Hi Nina,

Your pup sounds wonderful – and that’s so great to hear that you want to share his love and comfort with others. Unfortunately we don’t have any locations in Alaska at this time. You could try reaching out to the Delta Society to see if they have anyone to recommend in the Anchorage area. We wish you all the best!

Hi, I live on Elmendorf Air Force Base in Anchorage Alaska, and wanted to get my 7 year old Chihuahua/Yorkie into therapy since he has personally calmed my anxiety disorders and I know he can do good for others. Also, I myself am a childhood cancer survivor and I know I would have loved a chance to play with a dog like my Rocky while in the hospital. Please let me know how I can do this, thanks so much!

Yes, we expect to open the first Zoom Room Dallas in 2012, but as of right now we don’t have a target Grand Opening date. The easiest way to stay apprised of new location openings is via our Facebook page: http://www.fb.com/ZoomRoom.

Will you be opening a facility in the DFW area for Therapy dog training?

By: Zoom Room

Zoom Room — Sat, 25 Jun 2011 22:38:26 +0000

Hi Joseph,

You will need to find a qualified trainer in your area to prepare your dog through advanced obedience classes. After that, you’ll need to contact one of the certifying organizations such as the Delta Society to find an examiner in your area to administer the certification test. After that, you’ll have the appropriate credentials to tour such facilities. If you have specific facilities in mind, you might want to ask them if they work with a specific Therapy Dog organization, so you will have the best information about where to pursue certification.

I am a pastor that preaches weekly at a nursing home where I recuperated after losing my leg… my wife just got me a Shiba Inu from a shelter that only has three legs. She has a sweet disposition but seems shy. My dream is to preach a sermon and then tour the facility with a thrapy dog as a one legged man with a three legged dog. How should I proceed?
