Keep those doggies paws protected in the salt!! Use boots or a paw protecting cream.

march renewals

Happy New Year to all. Time to think about checking your ID badges to see if you need to get recertified by the end of March. I am planning a test the last weekend in Feb.

Test update

For those whose registration expires on Dec. 30th, I am sorry to report that no evaluations are scheduled by me or the evaluators that I know until after the first of the year. It is possible to get an extension from Delta.

dog testing

Today I tested 8 awesome dogs at the Rain Forest Learning Center in the South Loop. Each one of them have a special gift that they will bring to patients, children and the others they visit.

great course

I had a fun time teaching the Pet Partner handlers' course today at Westlake Hospital. It was an amazing group of students. We all had a great time.

Next event Nov. 15th evaluation in the South Loop. All filled up for that.

Handlers' Course

Sat. Oct 24th, I am teaching the Pet Partner's Handlers' Course in Melrose. I have had an amazing response. I think I have 12 students this time.

dream teams

I tested four dream teams of therapy dogs on Sunday in Michigan. They come from a group in Indiana called Jus Pet Em. The best thing about this group is that they don't send anyone to test unless they are prepared.

It was great to test a very enthusiastic teenager. We need more teams like that.
