Hello! Congrats on your new pup! I do therapy work with my dogs and we love it!
You need to get registered with an organization that certifies therapy dogs. To do that, you must pass their tests. The tests and minimum ages vary depending on organization but are typically basic obedience and temperament tests. We work with the Delta Dogs and Therapy Dogs International curriculums and I really like both of these organizations. Here's the link to the TDI test requirements!
There is no minimum age to start training your puppy! All programs require basic obedience, so work on building that strong foundation while you find an organization near you that you like!
