Do you want to help children develop confidence and a love for reading? Or do you long to provide furry comfort and love to a hospital patient or a lonely senior? Or have you recognized how well your pet relieves your stress and you’d like to share that benefit with others in a workplace or school? Or do you want to share the strong human-animal bond that you experience with your pet?These are just a few of the reasons that people volunteer with therapy animals. Once they start volunteering, many continue to volunteer for as long as possible because it is so rewarding to see the comfort, love, hope, and healing that non-judgmental therapy animals provide. Therapy animals are often able to touch hearts and provide acceptance and motivation that surpasses what humans alone can.
Our hands-on practicum is a valuable, optional supplement to the Pet Partner Online Handler Training Class. Taught by experienced Pet Partner Volunteers and Team Evaluators, this course is hands-on, lively, interactive, and full of opportunities to practice and ask questions from 9 am to 6 pm.
Utah Pet Partners members may attend at no charge for continuing education and to stay up with developing best-practice techniques in the field.
For all others - Cost is $45. Class includes printed hand-outs, lectures, demonstrations, role-plays, and paid membership in Utah Pet Partners (UPP).
