As a not-for-profit organization based in the Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley, Pleasure of Your Company Therapy Dogs, Inc. is dedicated to visiting members of our society who are unable to own dogs themselves, and bring them the joys of high quality therapy dogs.
If you think therapy dog work is just visiting nursing homes, you are wrong. Over the years, therapy dogs work is expanded to include helping children improve their literacy skills in schools and libraries, participating in health and wellness fairs, helping college students eliminates stress during the first few weeks of school and exams, etc. We are still very active in nursing homes, but have expanded the opportunities that are available for teams.
Our therapy dog teams are tested by our evaluation team. Our canine are tested for temperament and obedience. We realize that when we are visiting residents, we are visiting people in their homes. We want to be seen and not heard. If you believe that you your canine friend might qualify as a therapy dog, please give us a call. We are always in need of good therapy dog teams.
