Volunteers receive comprehensive coursework taken in person or online that highlights skills and strategies necessary for therapy animal work.After they pass their course, our volunteers participate in an in-person evaluation that assesses their therapy animal teamwork (handler plus animal equals team) and the handler’s proficiency in understanding and demonstrating YAYABA™ and PETS™, as well as the animal’s sociability and aptitude for visiting people in different scenarios.
