Congratulations! We are extremely pleased that you have completed your online course work and secondly you and your dog have completed the Dog Behavior Test. Now you are ready to experience those visits as a team.

You will be receiving by mail:

  • You and your dog’s certificate of completion
  • ID for both you and your dog
  • T-shirt for yourself
  • Bandana for your dog
  • Information sheet for the Nursing Home
  • Liability insurance document

You can now contact the nursing home in your area to arrange making visits with their residents. Use the PALS for Seniors information sheet to introduce the animal assisted activity program to them. Ask them to complete the registration for Nursing Homes online so you can record your visits with them.

Maintain your active membership with PALS for Seniors by submitting the record of your visits.

You will be sent a reminder when it is time for your annual registration.

We welcome you to a family of people dedicated to helping others through Animal Assisted Activity!

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the staff of the Research Center for Human Animal Interaction (ReCHAI).
