DogAbility is an innovative program where parents, schools, agencies and therapeutic professionals send individuals and/or groups by appointment during the week and on weekends. The sessions at DogAbility are designed to meet a participant’s needs. We work with participants of all ages and all abilities.

A participant is a child or an adult who is registered to engage with our dogs during sessions. You can register for either private or group sessions. You may form your own group – or join as an individual in one of our pre-scheduled group sessions.

Individual Sessions
These are private sessions conducted with a participant and one or two of our gentle dogs. Participants engage in one-on-one experiences which might involve either a sedentary or active visit.

Private sessions are 45 minutes long.

Group Sessions 
These are sessions conducted with 5 or more participants and a variety of dogs. Participants engage in one-on-one and group experiences which might involve either a sedentary or active visit.                                      

Group sessions are one hour long.
