As you know, I am training my golden retriever puppy to be a service dog for my son, who has autism. My daughter and I have been talking about how cool it would be to also certify him for therapy. The priority is to complete his service training, but I would like to start looking into the therapy certification as well.

Who do I contact? How long of a process is it? What's the right age to start the process? Beau is still pretty goosey around people, so he definately needs to mature a bit.

Kathy or Linda, would like your feedback...Thanks!
