Therapy Dog Seminar - Working Spot
This workshop is for anyone that may be interested in learning what is required to become a therapy dog team, and also for anyone preparing to take the therapy dog test. Both novice and experienced teams will benefit.
In this seminar you will learn about the obedience and temperament requirements of therapy dogs. We will also go over each item in the TDI therapy dog test during our mock test.
We will be offering both Working spots and Auditing spots
Working spots are perfect as a practice run for the actual TDI test, to see where your dog needs more training or to simply see if therapy dog work is something you and your dog would like to pursue.
Auditing spots are attended by just the handler without the dog. You will learn valuable information on what is needed to become a therapy dog team and observe the teams that go thru the mock TDI test.
We are delighted to have Maria Weber as the instructor of this seminar
Maria Weber has been involved with TDI since 2013 and has been an evaluator since 2018. She has done tests and workshops all over the Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin area.
She got involved with therapy dogs after seeing the joy they brought to her mother-in-law that was hospitalized for 4 weeks. The dogs were the only thing that brought a smile to her face while fighting colon cancer. Her Siberian Husky, Comet, was a therapy dog at Silver Cross Hospital for 10 years until they recently moved to Gurnee. She also does visits at various assisted living facilities.
Outside of therapy dog, she is active in dog sports with both her dogs. She's done obedience, rally, Fast CAT, agility and nose work. She has taught rally, obedience, nose work, and beginner agility and ran a free dog sports club for kids between 8 - 17 years old for years. This was a great experience and was done as a community service to get kids involved with dog sports.
Her husky Comet was the first Siberian Husky to earn a RACH, RM2,3,4 &5 and was also the first to earn the AKC Elite Tricks title (dancing with your dog).
Maria is also a CGC, Trick Dog, ATT, Fetch Dog and ACT evaluator for AKC.
