"Welcome Scott! My husband and I are owned by a 1/2 Golden 1/2 Great Pyr. Hale was recently certified as a TDI therapy dog. If you would like to check out TDI's website it is: http://www.tdi-dog.org/ click on testing requirements and you'll get an idea of what the evaluator will be looking for. We're going to be testing at Al Lopez Park on April 20th. The three minute separation and "leave it" are the hardest part for most. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask."
