Starting a Program
Developing a therapy dog program correctly, from the very start, is
essential for long-term success and viability. A well-thought out,
professionally developed program can mean the difference between
meaningful visits and trouble.
A quality therapy dog program will have dedicated, caring, compassionate,
and well-trained handlers who have friendly, gentle, and calm registered
therapy dogs. The program will have a competent leader who is a
champion, someone who not only loves dogs but understands how and why
they are beneficial to the population they serve. Starting a therapy dog
program takes commitment from the entire staff of an organization,
beginning with management.

If you are interested in developing a therapy dog program,
consider the following:
 | Does the management of your organization support a therapy dog | |
| program? Do they understand how beneficial the program will be to the population you serve? | ||
| Are staff enthusiastic and willing to become engaged in the program? | |
| If liability is an issue for management, are they aware of the insurance | |
| handlers (volunteers) are eligible for if their dog is registered through a professional organization? | ||
| Does the population you serve show an interest in the program? | |
| Who will help in the program development process? (Remember, | |
| Canine Comfort can take care of this for you!) | ||
| Once the program has been developed, who will be responsible for | |
| ongoing volunteer recruitment and program management? | ||
| Is your organization willing to provide the needed resources to help | |
| the program remain stable and viable for years to come? |
