Therapy dogs are not police dogs, this is a stand-alone voluntary support role.
As a therapy dog team volunteer, you must own your own dog. You will both be assessed to a designed standard by our accredited dog specialist and a public access test will be completed. We will accompany you on initial visits to mentor and support you. If you can volunteer the services of you and your dog for the benefits of others, you may want to consider becoming a member of the therapy dog team.
