About the Trainer
Canine Therapy Corps is a non-profit organization established in 1991 that provides professional dog training services in Chicago. Their primary mission involves animal-assisted therapy (AAT), where volunteers and certified therapy dogs work with healthcare, education, and social services professionals to help people recover from physical and emotional trauma. They customize goal-directed, interactive AAT programs that are provided free of charge.
The organization leverages the human-animal bond to empower individuals facing personal challenges, with therapy dogs offering continuous positive feedback to motivate participants during difficult therapy. For dog owners, Canine Therapy Corps offers both group classes and private training sessions. A unique advantage is their specialized program to help individuals train and certify their dogs to become therapy dog teams, enabling them to participate in AAT. They also advance animal-assisted interventions through research and collaboration.
