Therapy dog training
Pawfection therapy dog training REALLY trains your dog. We do what other companies SHOULD do but don’t and there is nobody doing what we do!
Many trainers offering Therapy dog training have absolutely NO QIALIFICATIONS and very little if any experience and most companies if not all charge way more than us!
At Pawfection we give you 5 million dollars insurance and over 70 locations to visit (plus we only charge $150 a month with a set graduation month 7 months from the start - Oh and compare our qualifications, experience and reputation with ANY other trainer or training company ...
Forget 20-minute assessments by organizations claiming to be regulatory bodies, but aren’t, who don’t even train the dogs but charge an “assessment” fee and then make you sign to absolve them from any responsibilities or liability AND wont let your dog get within 2 feet of another animal!
These organizations companies will then release often dangerously under trained dogs into the community to meet some of society’s most vulnerable people!
We care about safety, we care about professionalism, proper training and meaningful evaluation. We care that when you see a Pawfection therapy patch on a dog you know that the team has had 7 months of training and has achieved the highest standards unmatched by anyone anywhere in the USA.
We care about our vulnerable end users, we care about your dog and of course we care about you!
Don’t waste our time and money with anyone else – with Pawfection you can achieve perfection!

The standards are beyond that of any other therapy dog organization.
Pawfection therapy dog training is forging new standards of training and professionalism in an area where currently no regulation or unified standards exist.
We are sometimes asked “what national organization are you affiliated with?” …. the simple answer is that there ARE NO “National” governing bodies when it comes to service dogs, therapy dogs or emotional support dogs (which are basically pets with a doctor’s letter). There are organizations that offer “membership” and “affiliation” for a fee but these ARE NOT ruling bodies, simply private organizations pretending to be more important than they actually are (most are 501C 3’s for the tax breaks) More importantly our standards and requirements are higher than any other training company and so to pay a fee to an organization whose standards don’t come up to our own really makes no sense. Some Therapy dog companies even have the word “International” to sound even more important!
Simply put anyone can “train” a therapy dog, any company, group or individual can masquerade poorly trained dogs without insurance as “Therapy dogs” without fear of prosecution. At Pawfection, we are committed to change this to protect the people who need the support that well trained dogs can provide and to bring real quality and professionalism to a service that is much needed but in turn needs quality assurance.
A Therapy dog is a dog that is trained to provide comfort to others in need. It is entitled to go to places where pet dogs and emotional support dogs cannot, but this is by prior appointment and arrangement at organizations and centers where people benefit from the love and support that dogs can provide. A Therapy dog is a dog that you own and train for the benefit of others in need.
