How to Become a
Certified Therapy Dog
Handler: Introductory
#210184
In this introductory class, you’ll learn the
most expedient and cost-effective way
to become registered as a Dog Therapy
Handler with recognized local, regional,
and national dog-therapy agencies.
Anyone who has felt a connection
with a pet and experienced that joy
of unconditional love, understanding,
and acceptance, knows the value of a
pet’s companionship. These qualities
make animals, particularly dogs, ideal
therapeutic visitors that bring smiles to
patients in hospitals, calm travelers at
airports, calm child witnesses during
court proceedings, make good listeners
for children learning to read, help victims
of natural and man-made disasters,
and newer emerging applications.
1:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Tuition: $45
Instructor: Richard Katz
Instructor Richard Katz’s mission is
to significantly increase the number
of dog handlers and broaden the
usage wherever emotional comfort is
needed. Before launching Pet Therapy
Advisers, Richard was a Human
Resource executive and management
consultant for over 35 years focusing
on executive search, job training and
career counseling, and recruitment
technology. As a past therapy dog
handler for the UCLA Health System,
and certified to provide therapy dog
services for disaster relief, he obtained
the highest “complex” rating from Pet
Partners, the nation’s leading therapy
dog registering agency. Richard will
share his in-depth knowledge to help
you become a certified handler in the
least cost and most expedient way.
In this 3-hour course, you’ll not
only see a real-life therapy dog
demonstration, but also learn about
what it takes to become a certified
therapy dog handler and how you
can determine if you’re a good fit for
this type of service. Course includes
an in-depth explanation of the entire
process, the many facility options to
choose from, examples of written and
live dog handling testing, and postclass support. Note: Please do not
