Hi Courtney,

Corgis make wonderful Therapy Dogs:) Sage and I started with basic obedience, then 2 intermediate obedience classes (we took 2 because they only test for CGC once a year around here). We went to the AKC Kennel Club for the classes as I figured they would be best but many Pet Store also have classes so you could check them out also. There's a group for Therapy Dogs in Training for you also should you decide you want to go this route. It is so full filling and Sage is just great. We go to Nursing Homes, Assisted Living Homes, Memory Care Units and have now started are going to start visiting a person on a ventilator. We belong to Therapy Dog Inc.(you can check it out online) and also joined a local group that goes some of these places but also to schools and we just a Christmas visit to a Barnes& Noble for the kids there. I do bath her a day or 2 before a visit when possible and then a quick brush before we go in. If you are thinking of it I would surely suggest you "go for it" ...the smiles on peoples faces and being able to have a furry friend visit brings many great pleasure.  Sorry to ramble on. If you have more questions just ask.

Courtney,

There's a group on My Corgi for Therapy dogs "in training or want to be's...Sage and I belong to Therapy dogs Inc. out of WY and our local group also belongs to TDI. Right now we visit about twice a month but would like to more often. The group I belong to usually goes about 1 time per month and then Sage and I do our own visits about once a month and this does count toward the visits for our group also. I am thinking about Hospice also just have to figure out how i can fit it all in. No, you do not need CGC but I wanted it for sage's AKC title.

Thanks!  We were over at the park this morning - isn't it fun to have a dog when the weather channel says it "feels like -10"?!
