Therapy Dog Team Management

Effectively managing and coordinating therapy dog teams to work with hospitals and at-risk youth involves a blend of strong organizational structures, clear communication, robust training, and strategic partnerships.

In order to ensure the success of our therapy dog programs, Dog- Harmony has developed
a program to manage the therapy dog teams in local hospitals and  civic organizations. 

We are the liaison between a facility and the dog therapy teams , which streamlines the therapy process. Dog Harmony evaluates each of the therapy teams to determine how they can best give back to their community. We have developed successful programs in three area hospitals and have had continued success working with area nonprofits and with at risk youth. Dog harmony offers ongoing training and support to these teams which increases the volunteer retention. We handle the scheduling and logistics, safety and risk management and develop marketing targeted for community engagement.

By implementing these best practices your nonprofit can ensure that therapy dog teams operate smoothly, deliver impactful services, and sustain their efforts for the long term. Regular evaluation and adaptability helps these programs grow so we can meet the evolving needs of our community.

What People Are Saying About Dog-Harmony

“We love Dog Harmony; not only do they provide our kids dog education but each child has an opportunity to approach the dogs properly. To have the chance to pet and love the pups makes our kids so happy. Each of the volunteers are so patient and encouraging with our kids, even the ones that may be a little fearful, end up giving belly rubs. We are so thankful that Dog Harmony makes time to visit us whenever we ask.“
