Most therapy dogs are registered or certified through organizations like Therapy Dogs International, Therapy Dogs Incorporated, or Delta Society (Pet Partners). In general, dogs are required to be one year old, healthy, and pass obedience testing specific for each therapy dog organization. You can find organizations that typically certify dogs in your area by contacting local groups that offer Dog Training classes -- many also will offer classes to help you prepare for therapy dog testing and certification.

Once certified, you can volunteer at hospitals, schools, or other facilities where therapy dogs are welcomed. It's important to ensure your dog has a calm temperament and enjoys interacting with people.
This depends upon your counselor/psychiatrist - some will write a medical prescription for you to have a service or therapy dog. However, the dog will need to be trained and certified as a service dog before the prescription will mean anything.
