VolunteerWhy Become a Good Dog Team?The Good Dog Foundation is a non-profit organization that relies heavily on the kindness and generosity of our volunteers (both human and canine) to provide animal assisted therapy to those in need. The gift of healing and wellness is a precious one, and our teams are trained to help provide that gift. We have seen our teams make radical differences in the lives of those we help. Consequently, our teams gain landmark experiences that impact their own lives in rewarding and lasting ways.How to Become a Good Dog Team To become a Good Dog Team, a dog and handler pair must first have interest in the world of animal assisted therapy and making a difference in the lives of those in need. The dog must be at least six months old, and the handler needs only to have a desire and availability for volunteering with one or more of our facilities or programs.
To become certified as a Good Dog Team, the dog must first undergo a pre-screening, so that our trainer can make sure he/she is suitable for classes. To schedule a pre-screening, please refer to the form below. After pre-screening, your team enrolls in a class session. Pre-Screen Form
