In 2003, CIAS
initiated a program whereby an evaluator from Therapy Dogs International, Inc.(TDI) a respected organisation in the field of therapy dog certification – visit
the school of Veterinary Medicine to provide both TDI and AKC Canine GoodCitizenship certificate services to interested parties. 
The aim of the program
is to provide certificated handler/dog teams that will be able to visit nursing
homes, school, hospital, hospices, rehabilitation centres and other facilities organisations that believe in the power of the human-animal bond to educate,
lift spirits, and aid in the healing process.
To date, the program has evaluated 100+ handler/dog teams!
