Tom Oliver, volunteer with the Hearing Dog Program, and his dog Dolce underwent Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) training with Jeanne Bobbitt, Carol Gallagher and Joan Jenson of SHARE-A-PET located in San Francisco. Dolce and Tom were tested on their ability to do therapy work. Tom and Dolce have received obedience training help over the years from HDP trainer Martha Hoffmann which enabled them to pass the Therapy Obedience Professional’s exam (TOP) with flying colors. The exam and certificate is offered by SHARE-A-PET . Tom says, “I’m going to meet with them next month to see how HDP and SHARE-A-PET can work together to train our dogs for AAT work.”
