Professional Therapy Dog Program

Courteous Canine developed the training program for the states’ first Therapy Dog, Cali who is owned and handled by Cranston Police Department and the Aubin Center at Hasbro Children’s Hospital. In 2018, we worked with Detective Michael Iacone to develop the comprehensive program which became the standard for the Police Department’s comfort/therapy dogs credentialing in Rhode Island. 

We can be of assistance with:

  • Program Development

  • Formation of your institutions’ policy

  • Liability assessment for your program

  • Selection of breed/breeder/rescue

  • Temperament Testing/Litter Evaluations

  • Handler Training / Training of additional/secondary handlers

  • Canine Training – Puppy through Adult 

  • Canine Behavior Remediation

  • Canine evaluations and certifications
