I would love to train therapy dogs, but I was wondering if there are any benefits? Do you get any special tax refunds, community service hours, or anything like that when you train and visit with therapy dogs?

Nope! you just get the benefit of knowing that the presence of a dog to some people brings utter happiness.

Not a penny. Just satisfaction from doing a good deed. To pass a therapy dog certification test, a dog needs to know basic obedience, be calm and sociable around other dogs and of course people, and not be upset or frightened of elevators, medical equipment like walkers and crutches, or of people with spastic movements.
