The purpose of this program is to recognize dogs and their owners who volunteer their time to helping others. A Therapy dog team improves the lives of those they have visited in schools, hospitals, and nursing homes for example. The CKC is thrilled to be able to adopt this Title Recognition Program beginning in January 1 2019.
Titles earned through the therapy dog organizations are based on the required number of visits for each title. The record of visit form can be found under Forms>Exhibitor Forms:
