No special qualifications are needed. Just a friendly, socially motivated dog, a kind and patient approach, and a heart for making someone's day. We’ll provide all the training you need, along with guidance to help you prepare your dog for their role. Every team completes a friendly, supportive assessment to make sure this rewarding work is a great fit for you and your dog.
