Training is key to great communication with your dog and success as an animal-assisted therapy team.

 Although Lend A Heart does not provide dog training, we work with trainers who support our volunteer efforts. The following trainers will assist teams in completing the Lend A Heart Obedience and Behavior Verification Form.
