I think Ein would make a great therapy dog because he is so friendly, but I am unsure how to get started. I've checked the TDI (Therapy Dogs International) website, and the closest place they are doing testing any time soon is a ways away. You'd think they'd have testing in Atlanta, but no.
There are only two local therapy groups that don't say that the dog has to have passed a TDI test. One requires you send your dog to obedience school, which I can't afford to do. I emailed the other one and told them that Ein and I were interested in joining the group, but it's been several weeks and I haven't heard back from them.
Any suggestions on where to go from here and how to look into it?
