I'd love to get a TDI with Fitzwilliam - I think it would be a long, long road to get there though. There are courses that you can take, is that right? Training, lots of training? I take Fitz into a facility for seniors every week to visit my mom, and the residents there love him so much, he's quite the favorite. But unfortunately he's also quite shy ... and not always terribly well-behaved: yesterday, for example, his leash unclipped itself from his collar and he took off at a flat out gallop, totally & completely ignoring me. 'Ats my boy, yep. :roll:

So ... where does one get training?? :)

We always had faith in you.

Regular obedience courses should give you enough to pass. If you need more (you said he is shy - maybe work with w/c, medical stuff and odd sounding and behaving people) then you may need some more help. Some areas offer specific classes for therapy dog work.
However, I teach my classes with enough temptations, distractions and such that none have ever had a problem passing! :roll:
Good luck - it is very fun and rewarding.
Bravo Heart :hearts: and Val!! I'm super happy for you and proud of you both. :clappurple: Of course, we had no doubt that you could do it. :wink:
