Therapy Team Training & Coaching

Service Description

Are you and your faithful canine companion a therapy dog team — or are you dreaming of becoming one? Whether you are just starting out or are a seasoned handler dedicated to the wonderful work of providing comfort and solace to others, Wags with Mags is here to support your journey every step of the way. Animal-assisted therapeutic visits take place across a diverse array of settings, from hospitals and nursing homes to veteran support groups, schools, libraries, colleges, and anywhere a friendly therapy dog's presence can bring consolation and connection. Many teams gain invaluable experience interacting with individuals and groups from all walks of life. While this work is truly beautiful, navigating these interactions can also present unique challenges — and that's exactly where we come in. Our goal is to help your therapy dog team feel trained, confident, and empowered. When therapy dog teams are well-supported, they create more meaningful connections and provide deeper comfort to those they serve. Through professional training and coaching, Wags with Mags helps ensure both handler and dog not only enjoy their work but are fully prepared to maximize their positive impact in the community. In recognition of your dedication to helping others, we are honored to offer a **10% discount** to all helping professionals. We truly appreciate the meaningful work you do each day. Our Therapy Team Training & Coaching Services include: - Foundational training for new therapy dog teams preparing for certification - In-person or virtual consultations to answer any therapy dog team questions - Debriefs after therapeutic visits to process difficult — and positive! — experiences - Guidance on navigating challenging interactions and overcoming barriers to more successful visits
