Our Therapy & Facility Dog Program
Therapy & Facility Dog Program
Bulletproof Canine’s Therapy & Facility Dog Program is designed to help dogs and handlers confidently work in schools, private practices, nursing homes, and other community settings. I am proud to have successfully placed five therapy dogs within the Kellogg School District and a private practice in Kellogg. Clients may either bring their own dog for a temperament evaluation or work with me to find a suitable dog that matches their lifestyle and goals. Lifetime support is included after program completion because we are committed to supporting our community and the teams we train.
Building Exceptional Teams That Make a Difference
At Bulletproof Canine & Co., we believe therapy and facility dogs should be held to the highest standard. That's why we've created our own Private Therapy & Facility Dog Certification Program that focuses on developing confident, reliable dogs capable of making a positive impact in schools, nursing homes, hospitals, counseling offices, libraries, and other community settings.
Our program is privately owned and operated. We have developed our own rigorous training and evaluation standards to ensure every certified team represents the professionalism and reliability our community deserves.
More Than a Temperament Test
Many therapy dog organizations simply evaluate whether a dog has the right personality. We believe that temperament is only the beginning.
Every dog accepted into our program undergoes extensive training and evaluation to prepare them for the real world.
What Your Dog Will Learn
Our comprehensive program includes:
- Professional on-leash obedience
- Reliable off-leash obedience
- Extensive temperament evaluations
- Confidence building and environmental stability
- Desensitization to everyday sights, sounds, equipment, and distractions
- Structured socialization with people and appropriate dogs
- Public exposure training in a variety of real-world environments
- Public access manners and professional behavior
- Therapy visit etiquette
- Handler education and team communication
- Task commands such as pressure therapy and disruption of harmful behaviors
- De-escalation techniques
Every team must successfully earn the AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) title before certification. We also encourage handlers to continue advancing their education by earning the AKC Community Canine (CGCA) and AKC Urban Canine Good Citizen (CGCU) titles.
After certification, we ask all therapy dog teams to stay connected by participating in periodic check-ins to ensure skills remain sharp and up to program standards. We also require each team to complete at least four volunteer visits annually at local approved facilities. This helps maintain certification while continuing to make a positive impact in our community.
Insurance Requirements
As a private Therapy & Facility Dog Certification Program, Bulletproof Canine & Co. does not provide blanket liability insurance or group insurance coverage for certified teams.
Because many of our certified teams serve more as facility dogs and work in schools, counseling offices, healthcare settings, and other professional environments on a regular basis, we have found that individual insurance provides the most appropriate and flexible coverage.
For this reason, all certified handlers are responsible for obtaining and maintaining their own liability coverage. Many of our handlers choose to add an umbrella liability policy through their homeowner's or renter's insurance provider, while others obtain a separate personal liability policy that best fits their needs and the facility in which they volunteer or work.
This approach allows each team to carry coverage tailored to their individual circumstances while ensuring they are adequately protected during therapy and facility dog visits.
Our team is happy to discuss insurance expectations during the certification process and provide guidance on the types of coverage commonly carried by our handlers.
Not Every Dog Is Meant for Therapy Work
One of the most important parts of our program is honesty.
While many dogs enjoy people, not every dog truly enjoys the demands of therapy or facility work. Throughout training, we carefully evaluate each dog's confidence, temperament, stress recovery, sociability, and overall suitability. Our goal is never to "make" a dog become a therapy dog—it's to identify and develop dogs that genuinely thrive in these environments.
Investing in Your Team
Programs of this caliber often cost well over several thousand dollars, reflecting the extensive training, individualized coaching, public exposure sessions, and evaluations involved.
Because giving back to our community is one of our core values, we proudly offer our complete Therapy & Facility Dog Certification Program for $1,600 for private sessions or $2,500 for board & train. This allows more dedicated handlers to become involved while maintaining the highest standards of training and certification.
Specialty Detection Dog Training
Looking for something different? We also offer Nicotine Detection Dog Training for schools and organizations seeking a proactive approach to identifying concealed nicotine and vaping products. These highly trained detection dogs combine advanced scent work with exceptional obedience and environmental confidence. Must call to inquire about pricing.
Making an Impact Together
Whether your goal is to volunteer in your local community, support students in schools, comfort residents in assisted living facilities, or serve as a professional facility dog, we're here to help you and your dog become a confident, dependable team.

Service Dog Training
Our Service Dog Training Program is available only for individuals with a disability who require task-trained assistance dogs. All dogs must pass a temperament evaluation before entering the program to ensure they are suitable for service work.
Training includes on-leash obedience, off-leash obedience, public access preparation, and customized task training specific to the handler’s individual needs. Examples of task work may include mobility assistance, grounding tasks, interruption behaviors, and emotional regulation support. Our goal is to create reliable, confident, and well-mannered service dogs capable of assisting their handlers safely in everyday life.
Private Session Package $2,500
Board & Train $4,000
Behavior Modification Program
Our Behavior Modification Program is designed for dogs struggling with anxiety, reactivity, aggression, fear-based behaviors, or resource guarding. Every dog is evaluated individually to create a customized training approach tailored to their specific needs.
Through structured guidance, controlled socialization with balanced dogs, and real-world exposure, we help dogs learn how to relax, build confidence, and reconnect with natural behaviors in a healthy way. We focus on creating clarity, structure, and trust between the dog and owner while addressing the root causes of unwanted behaviors. Private Session Package $1,250 Board & Train $3,000
