2025 has been an incredible year for Canine Therapy Corps, marked by significant growth in the Chiquita Brightman Dog Training Department. The expansion includes new group classes, offering more diverse training options for clients, and an increase in our training team, now composed of 10 experienced dog trainers. Their collective expertise and compassion continues to enhance the quality of our program by helping more dogs and their owners build strong, happy and healthy relationships.

Our trainers had the pleasure of assisting over 240 dogs and their owners this year! We were lucky enough to meet many of these dogs through our complimentary 15-minute evaluations where they meet 1:1 with our trainers to determine the next steps to achieve their goals; from there they advance through our group classes and certify as a therapy team. Our group training classes are offered 4 days a week and include Teen Manners, Reactive Rover, Circus Dog and various prep classes. We look forward to 2026 and all the dogs we’ll meet along the way!
