New Canine Candystripers

Left to right: Hope, Magic and Sadie

Hope and Magic yapping about their new titles while Sadie wonders "Did I really produce these 2 Jokers?".

All kidding aside, Jane qualified each dog with a TDI Certificate, enabling them, to work safely with people who have special needs, such as the developmentally or physically disabled.

To earn this advanced certificate, dogs must first possess their American Kennel Club (AKC) Canine Good Citizen certification which is the basis for the more advanced TDI certification test that allows dogs to become Therapy Dogs. Following Therapy Dog training, dogs take an exam administered by a certified TDI evaluator, where, upon successfully passing this test, the dog will receive their Therapy Dog certification.

Hope, Magic and Sadie are now qualified with TDI for Therapy Dog work. CONGRATS.
