What does it actually take to become a Calais-Certified Therapy Dog Handler?

It starts with education.

The Calais Method certification begins with our comprehensive eLearning course, followed by in-person Skills Training.

Together, these two components prepare handler teams to understand not only how to work with a therapy dog, but when, why, and how to do so intentionally and ethically in a school environment.

Education first. Practice next. Impact follows.

It's easy to see a dog in a school and think, "That's nice. The kids must love it."

And they probably do. ❤️🐾

But intentional Animal Assisted Interventions go much deeper.

A professional approach considers:
• The student's needs
• The goal of the interaction
• The dog's welfare
• Safety and boundaries
• Handler skills
• Appropriate implementation
• How the interaction fits into the student's broader support plan

That's the difference between simply having a therapy dog and intentionally integrating Animal Assisted Interventions into a school setting.
