At Assent Canine Training, we believe in the powerful bond between people and dogs. Our Therapy Dog Team Training program is designed to help you and your dog unlock that potential, guiding you both toward becoming a confident, compassionate team that can make a difference in the lives of others. This program focuses on building trust, improving communication, and creating a foundation of calm, reliable behavior in a variety of settings.
‍
Throughout the program, handlers and dogs work side by side, developing the skills needed to bring comfort, joy, and companionship to those who need it most. From basic manners to advanced teamwork, every lesson is tailored to prepare you and your dog for meaningful service in hospitals, schools, nursing homes, and beyond. Our trainers support you every step of the way, ensuring progress is achievable and rewarding.
‍
What makes our program special is our emphasis on real-world readiness. We don’t just teach obedience—we prepare you and your dog to thrive in environments filled with distractions, people, and new experiences. By the end of the course, you’ll feel confident knowing that your dog has the temperament and training to succeed as a therapy partner, and you’ll have the skills as a handler to guide them with ease.

Whether your goal is to volunteer in your community, support children in educational environments, or simply share the joy your dog brings, our Therapy Dog Team Training program gives you the tools to make it possible. Together, you and your dog can spread comfort and connection in ways that truly change lives.

Together, you and your dog can bring comfort, joy, and healing to those who need it most!
