September 2019 Animal Assisted Therapy Class Open for Enrollment.

Animal Assisted Therapy Class beginning November 3, 2018, Mahopac NY.

Three Dogs Training’s Animal Assisted Therapy Class is scheduled to begin September 7, 2019

Lisa has almost twenty years of experience visiting with her dogs and teaching Animal Assisted Therapy, Education, and Activities.

Because of her experience, the class starting September 7, 2019 will prepare visiting teams for various populations, facilities, and any testing required for certification.

Visiting dogs can put a smile on the face of a senior who misses her dog, or help someone in rehab work through his therapy projects for the day, or help children sit quietly as they read The Giving Tree. 

Sometimes, a visiting dog might even go for a walk with a person in a wheel chair who never thought they could walk a dog again.

There are a myriad more opportunities for visiting dogs to make a difference in a person’s life, including yours.

If you have ever wanted to visit with your dog, email Lisa, or call 845.228.2546.

The book is also full of many truths of how animals can help both teach and heal humans. You’ll smile and laugh at all of his antics and by the end of the book you’ll love the little awkward black dog named Boo.[/quote]

[quote style=”boxed”]Since Ms. Edwards tells Boo’s story so well and because she tells so many peripheral stories well, too, A Dog Named Boo deserves as many “stars” as a critic’s rating system will allow. A pleasant surprise for readers, caregivers, and an inspirational gift to the infirm, the troubled, and the pessimistic, A Dog Named Boo is a truly perfect book.[/quote]
