Introduction to Animal Assisted Therapy

Learn how to train your dog to become an Animal Assisted Therapy Partner.

Your dog should be at least 6 months old and familiar with basic obedience commands (sit, down, stay, etc.).

The course includes instruction on hand signals, getting your dog to work for others, and an introduction to the games used in our therapy work to help improve/enhance verbal and motor skills.

Register early! The kids are waiting to meet you and your friendly dog!

$60 FEE for 6 hours of instruction.
Pre-Registration is required. Click here for a registration form.

Flyball Classes

Flyball is a four dog relay race between competing teams. One dog from each team, racing side by side, must go over four jumps to the start/finish line where the next dog eagerly waits.

This exciting sport is open to any breed of dog 9 months or older. Most dogs can learn Flyball because it combines activities they love to do: chase, jump, catch, and retrieve.

Classes are held at:
Rainbow AAT
6042 W. Oakton
Morton Grove, IL 60053
2nd & 4th Wednesdays 7:30 p.m.

7 classes per session
$45.00 per session (single class/guest training $10.00)
Rainbow members $30.00/session (2nd dog $5.00)
