Boost Workplace Well-being: Certified Therapy Dogs for Businesses
Therapy Dog Training & Certification
Bring the benefits of a well-trained therapy dog into your workplace – safely, professionally, and with structure.
We work with businesses to design, train, and implement tailored therapy dog programs using a dog already owned by a staff member. This is not a “bring your dog to work” approach – it is a structured, compliant program built around safety, welfare, and real outcomes.
What We Do
We partner with your business to set up a complete therapy dog program from the ground up.
This includes:
- Assessing your workplace for suitability
- Guiding you through legal, insurance, and policy requirements
- Training your staff member and their dog
- Conducting formal assessments and certification
- Supporting safe integration into your workplace
How It Works
1. Consultation & Assessment
We begin by understanding your business, your goals, and your environment to determine suitability.
2. Program Design
We design a program tailored to your workplace, including structure, interaction types, and safety protocols.
3. Compliance & Set Up
We help you implement the required policies, procedures, and insurance so your program is properly supported.
4. Training & Assessment
Your staff member and their dog are trained and assessed through a structured process to ensure they meet program standards.
5. Certification & Launch
Once all requirements are met, your therapy dog team is certified and ready to operate within your business.
Who Is This For?
This program is suited to:
- Allied health clinics
- Corporate workplaces
- Schools and education settings
- Community services
- Any business wanting to support wellbeing in a structured, responsible way
Why It Matters
A therapy dog program can:
- Support staff wellbeing
- Enhance client experience
- Improve workplace culture
But only when it is done properly.
Our approach ensures:
