Can your dog become a C.A.T.T.?
We are looking for beloved pets, retirees from breeding or competition, released service dogs, registered therapy dogs and/or rescues. We welcome Puppies (beginning at 12 weeks) to Adults!
Qualify your dog for our innovative canine-assisted activities program where children and adults come to interact with our certified dogs.
You and your dog will engage with our participants (with and without special needs) who come to DogAbility Center by appointment.
Our certified canine teams are taught to manage a small obstacle course, ride in a wagon, play tug games, run relay races, play "find the ball" and other assorted tricks, as well as assist in "fear of dogs" sessions.
Very young puppies are introduced gradually in our supervised Puppy Pals activity.
To become certified, all teams must pass an initial evaluation and then attend training sessions where our DogAbility Certified Training Staff will offer personal assistance.
