Therapy Dogs Two wonderful organizations that certify Therapy Dogs are Therapy Dogs International, www.tdi-dog.org and the Delta Society www.deltaSociety.org. Get involved in your community! After your dog has passed the Canine Good Citizen Test, you may want to get him certified for Therapy work. This is a very rewarding experience for you and your dog. Therapy dogs visit Nursing homes, hospitals, extended care facilities and other places where people cannot have their pets with them. Dante regularly visits his friends at the Missouri Veteran's home.
