therapy dog evaluator

The stability standards are foundation standards we have in place to ensure the safest teams possible.  Those include temperament and obedience testing, in public, by an evaluator every three years. This creates the most stable dog possible.

• But here is the key

                We strongly believe only those trained at a professional level have the true 

                 knowledge of doing these evaluations. 

                 That is what makes us different than other registries. 

Our stability standards are the foundation of core values we believe is needed to have a great therapy dog team.

That foundation is the professional certified R+ trainers like you. 

• You are able to evalute behavior whether or not a dog can do the work or would enjoy the work. 
• You are able to train obedience in a force free manner so the dog enjoys the visit.
• Most importantly, you are educated and know exactly what you are looking at with that potential therapy dog.  That is invalueable to us.  

You are the ones that create the most stable teams possible. 

It is important to K9to5 that we refer to an R+ professional trainer when we get an inquiry. It is a win for all, spreading science based R+ training and bringing clients to you as we ll as sharing dogs with the community. 

People do notice a well trained dog and those pet parents will tell others where they did their training.
