About Us

To become certified as a Healing Heart Dogs therapy team, you and your dog must have passed the Canine Good Citizen test before taking our therapy dog class and must pass the Healing Heart Therapy Dogs Certification Test, which tests situations you may encounter during a therapy dog visit.

Dogs must be at least one year old, have been owned by you for at least 6 months prior to testing, and meet specific health qualifications.

The ideal therapy dog candidate loves people and other animals, and never shows signs of aggression. A therapy dog can remain calm around large groups of people in many different settings.
