Therapy Dog Training

Congratulations again to Gracie!

Barbara,
Gracie and I will begin our animal assisted therapy volunteer program at UCI Medical Center on Jan. 5 2011.
We want to thank you for the training that we both received and the information on how to proceed with the registration/evaluation process for therapy dogs.
I called you in April 2010 to inquire about training Gracie the basic commands needed for pet therapy work.
We followed your training techniques step by step. In August 2010, we passed our test for the Delta Society Pet Partners program.
Now, we have been accepted for the UCI Tails program where we will be able to visit people who are "in the hospital".
If you ever need a referral, please don't hesitate to call.
The training for doing therapy dog work was fun. Now the real fun is about to begin!
Take Care,
Jerry Newman & Gracie


CONGRATULATIONS GRACIE - CERTIFIED THERAPY DOG!

Raising K9 would like to give a "Shout Out" to Gracie, Jerry & Kim Newman on Gracie's passing of the Delta Society's Therapy Dog Evaluation! Gracie is a Raising K9 stellar student and worked very hard during her training with us to accomplish this. Gracie's parents also worked very hard with a sincere dedication to this wonderful program. Even better? Gracie is one of the youngest dogs to pass the evaluation. She just turned one year old! Congratulations Gracie, Jerry & Kim Newman!
