News - Therapy Dog Teams Pass the Test

Saturday, April 26th was a great day for Therapy Dog Connection. We had a 100% pass rate on testing conducted at Northland Pet Lodge in Crosslake. Members and their dogs have been training for several months, but the training stepped up in April when members trained for three weeks straight.

Several teams from our group were tested by an evaluator for Therapy Dog International. He came from the twin cities area to test our teams.

Therapy Dog Connection now has 12 teams that have passed the test. The next step is to register the teams with a national registry. When the registration comes through, these teams will be ready to serve our community. The following handlers and their dogs passed:

Linda with Annie & Rocky
Brenda with Snoop
Rhonda with Tarra
Tracy with Briley
Donny with Boston
Carrie with Jasmine
Lyndsay with Tia
Tom with Maddie
Joyce with Maddie
Jodi with Murphy
Josh with Magnum
Kip with Gracie
Debi with Jedd
Jeff with Mae Belle
Sue with Peeps
Doreen with Turner
