I would like to try to get my dog AKC certified as either an emotional support dog for me or a therapy dog who could be used for emotional support in the high school I teach in (or both). Is this something you train dogs for?

A therapy dog is different than an ESA. An ESA has limited legal rights and only requires a doctor's note. They have no right to accompany you anywhere like a service dog does. Therapy dogs provide emotional comfort for others and are allowed only when and where invited, i.e. nursing homes, etc. Service dogs are covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act, but must meet certain criteria under the act to qualify. All Dawgs offers training for therapy dogs and service dogs. As I have participated in both, I highly recommend both programs.
