Kind Hearts Dog Training generates funds for Therapy Partners, a non-profit organization. The training facility, established in 2001, aims to strengthen the bond between people and their companion dogs, while also enabling experienced trainers to support the work of Therapy Partners’ handler teams. They emphasize humane training techniques.

Therapy Partners’ volunteer therapy animal teams consist of one human handler and one animal, working together to conduct community visits. These teams undergo screening and registration to ensure they meet the high standards of the Therapy Animal Program, allowing them to visit safely. The organization is registered with Pet Partners, which is noted for its high standards in the field, supported by peer-reviewed research.

Additionally, Therapy Partners offers community-based programs, such as Partners Achieving Literacy, which began in 2001. In this program, students read to a therapy animal for 20 minutes each week in a quiet, controlled environment, under the gentle supervision of volunteers. Students get to keep the book they read.
