Misty Pines Therapy Dog Test (MPTD)
The Primary objective of the MPTD dog and handler is to provide comfort and companionship by sharing the dog with the patients in hospitals, nursing homes and other institutions and wherever else the Therapy Dog is needed. This is done in a way that increases emotional well being, promotes healing, and improves the quality of life for the people being visited and the staff that cares for these people.
The CGC and MPTD also lays the foundation for the Public Access Test for the Misty Pines Certified Service Dogs.
