Intermountain Therapy Animals Training Workshop
NEW!
Animals can often motivate positive
differences—everything from
smiles and welcome distractions to
therapeutic breakthroughs—for those
of all ages, in diverse settings, who
are going through challenges. In the
Helena Valley, therapy pet/handler
teams visit hospitals, nursing homes,
schools, libraries, and other facilities.
Intermountain Therapy Animals (ITA)
screens, trains, and tests volunteers
and their pets, who are then registered
and insured as pet partner teams.
Whether or not you already have a
calm, friendly pet that would enjoy
making visits, workshops are open to
all who are interested in the potential
of volunteering.
 This workshop is the
first step toward preparing you to
volunteer in this program and includes
four hours of “Speaking Dog” or canine body language.
