Connecting People, Pets, and Community

Welcome Note from Carol S. Davenport-Trainer

In associate with AAA Canine Training, LLC  2011-2012

Dogs, cats and other household pets are some of the most sincerely genuine, loving creatures on this planet. Dogs in particular exhibit emotional attachment and distress when a loved one is ill or passes away. Working dogs are our new animal heroes in the 21st Century.

Therapy dogs are just one of these types of heroes. A therapy dog or an Animal Assisted Activity (AAA)/ Therapy Dog, is a dog who has been trained along with it's handler to go out into the community and visit area hospitals, retirement centers, adult day care centers, libraries and schools among other routine venues comforting and bringing joy to those in need. 

The working evaluation is the ultimate goal of each prospective team. In passing the evaluation, they become a registered or certified volunteer team member for their chosen organization. Once the handler and dog have passed their organizations evaluation and other standard requirements they will then start volunteering in their community as a working team.

Therapy work with dogs can be one of the most rewarding volunteer services that an individual can do with their pet. Seeing the smile on a persons face when a volunteers pet brings back the memories of their own beloved pet is a reward in itself. Children will lose the fear of reading out loud, in front of their peers, when they can read to an attentive dog instead. Grief stricken adults and children find comfort and love when they can wrap their arms around a big woolly dog's head. The benefits of having a well-trained AAA handler and dog team make for a world of difference in making everyday heroes.

I encourage you to become a volunteer of yourself and your time while sharing your dogs love with others. Through proper training you and your pet will be forever rewarded for your kindness.
