Welcome to our web site. We hope you enjoy your visit.

   Are you interested in Therapy Dog work?

HappyTails Therapy Dogs is an informal group of volunteer Therapy Dog handler/dog teams that have joined
together to support each other and to increase the general publics knowledge of their mission.

   Any dog and handler team who have successfully tested and passed by a Therapy Dogs Inc. tester/observer and
who is in good standing with Therapy Dogs Inc, are welcome to join our group.

  We offer a Therapy Dog Workshop to familiarize you and your dog with issues and objects you will encounter
in most facilities Classes are taught by Therapy Dogs Inc. tester/observers and with assistance from members of
Happytails who have been making visits for a long time. With their help we are able to give new members a wonderful outlook on
what it is like and what they may do when on an authorized visit.

   Please note that this is not an obedience class.      All dogs must have some degree of basic obedience.

Dogs must be at least one year old, clean and well groomed and up to date on all required immunizations.
Dogs must also have a fecal check with a negative result prior to entering the Workshop.

Dogs should be willing to socialize and show no signs of aggression towards people or other animals.

Our group maintains an active calendar of facility visits. These facilities include, but are not limited to; nursing homes,
assisted living facilities, hospice houses, group homes, hospitals, churches, youth centers, elementary schools,
cancer centers and annual events such as Bell Ringing for the Salvation Army.

We also offer American Kennel Club's Canine Good Citizen (CGC) evaluations.

Thank you all for making folks Smile One Wag at a Time.

Please note: You DO NOT have to attend a class in order to become a therapy dog handler. You may ask any T/O to make three visits
with you and your dog. Upon completing a simple evaluation of your dog and completing three successful visits you would
then submit your application directly to TD Inc of Wyoming.
