If you are interested in getting a Therapy Dog or Certifying your own dog, contact Companion Paws Canada (CPC) https://companionpaws.ca/

​

The Companion Paws program, assess and test 3 types of Animal Assisted Therapy Dogs;

 

Personal Therapy Dog (first program of its kind in Canada): A personal therapy dog (Companion Paws emotional support dog) is a trained, temperament tested, evaluated and certified dog that brings benefits to their owners/handlers that struggle with mental health conditions.

 

Assisted Therapy Dog: Assisted Therapy Dogs join their handler/owner (typically educators, teachers, psychologists, counsellors and doctors) at their workplace to help their students, clients, customers and/or patients.

 

Visiting Therapy Dog: Typically, Visiting Therapy Dogs visit hospitals, schools, hospices, nursing homes and more. Unlike service dogs, therapy dogs are encouraged to interact with a variety of people while they are on-duty including petting the therapy dog.

​

Once you have completed the CPC process, they will contact me to provide any training or certification required. I am Newfoundland's Companion Paws Representative. I understand the need for Therapy dogs in this province. So I am excited to be part of The Companion Paws Canada Family and The Lifeline Canada Foundation initiative.

​

If you require any help to prepare for the CPC temperament test or evaluation, contact us to learn more about how Signal Service Dogs can help.
