Pet Partner Team All-Inclusive Training Course

 

 

Our all-inclusive AAI Package includes an all-day workshop to educate you about how to become a Pet Partner as well as four weeks of specialized dog training to ensure you pass your Pet Partner evaluation!

 

 

Part I. Pet Partner Class - (all day class for people only)

 

Come to our all day class and learn what you need to know as an animal-assisted therapy pet handler. Build skills for working with people, managing your pet to perform best, and understand how to be safe while helping others. As part of your all day class, you will receive the official Pet Partners Manual from the Delta Society.

 

Part II. Pet Partner Dog Training Classes

 

Just as important as book knowledge is hands-on training with your pet. The AAI prep school at OHS prepares individuals and their animals to take the national Pet Partner Skills & Aptitude Evaluation exam administered by the Delta Society. Pet Partner teams who pass the exam are recognized as having the skills needed to bring pets into health care facilities, libraries, schools and other organizations.

1. A full day of Manual Training with a licensed Delta Society instructor
2. Four weeks of hands-on training with your dog (Saturdays, 11:00 am- 12:00 pm)
3. The Delta Society Pet Partner Team Manual (normally an additional cost of $40)
4. One evaluation opportunity to become registered as a Pet Partner team with the Delta Soclety. You will sign up for your evaluation day and time during the class.
