Hi, Arlene!
We went to therapy dog school! That was after we had already attended and passed puppy kindergarten, beginner obedience and novice obedience! It is well worth it! At the end of therapy dog school there is a test. Good luck, I wish you were closer to me. I have a wonderful trainer who teaches therapy dog work.

You are fortunate to have witnessed the power of a dog! I am owned by both a service dog (I am disabled) and a therapy dog who charm all with whom they come in contact.
