This course is designed to help handler and dog acquire and fine tune the skills needed to pass the Delta Society Pet Partner Skills and Aptitude Evaluation.
Prerequisites: The course is open to dogs
that have completed NDTC's Level II (or higher) Obedience Class (or the equivalent elsewhere)
within the last ninety days prior to the start of a Pet Therapy Class. They must also have
their AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Certification (must provide a copy to the registrar).
All NDTC classes require proof of current rabies vaccination for dogs age six months or older.
Pet Therapy Class registrants that have had more than a 90 day break since their
last class (Level II or higher) are required to attend a readiness screening with their
dog in order to be admitted to the class. The readiness screenings will usually be on the
Wednesday before a new class starts (registrants will be given an appointment time and feedback
will be shared at the time of screening).
