The program includes the Basic Obedience curriculum along with additional lessons involving the owner and dog working around other dogs in different scenarios. The published focus includes:

Upon successful completion of the training program, qualifying dogs and handlers may be evaluated and certified through Therapy Pets Unlimited.
Successful completion of the lessons does not automatically guarantee certification. The dog and handler must meet the applicable evaluation requirements. This program is for therapy dog preparation and is not presented as service dog training.
