Therapy Dogs International has a network of Evaluators throughout the United States. Evaluators meet with potential Therapy Dog teams to determine if the dog being evaluated has characteristics of an effective Therapy Dog.

TDI Evaluators have extensive experience working with dogs and their owners, and are very knowledgeable about dog behavior. All Evaluators are Associate Members of TDI and have had visiting experience with their dog(s), so they know what is required for a dog to excel as a Therapy Dog.
