Service Dog Training
Service Dog Training – WE SPECIALIZE IN LURE AND FOCUS TRAINING
“Paw”sitive Service Dog Training Results
At Hot Dog On A Leash, our Service Dog Training Program is different than most in that we involve the client in the actual training of their dog. In the case that the owner is not physically capable of being involved in the training, the owner must provide an assistant that will be involved in the day to day training and care of the dog. Most NPO’s (Non-Profit Organizations) that provide already trained service animals have long waiting lists. In addition, some people already have a dog that they desire to train rather than adding a new dog to the family. While all dogs are not suitable for the work, some are. We can also assist the client with the purchased, donated, or rescued dog who is capable of doing the work.
Types of Service Dogs we Train:
- Seizure Alert Dogs
- Ptsd Dogs
- Psychiatric Dogs
- Diabetes Alert Dogs
- Hearing Impaired Dogs
- Autism Dogs
- Mobility Dogs
- Companion Dogs
- Emotional Support Dogs
- Dogs for Wheel Chair Bound
- And Much More…….
Requirements:
Letter From a Physician
We require a letter from a licensed physician or psychiatrist prior to training a Service Dog. Please do not inquire about training a Service Dog if you simply want to be able to take your pet dog into places that otherwise would not allow him. This is an ABSOLUTE requirement. Your dog must pass the Public Access Test or equivalent.
Proper dog to do the work
The applicant must have the proper dog to do the work. The dog must not be overly fearful or aggressive to humans or other dogs. If the applicant’s dog does not pass the temperament test, a new dog will be a requirement. At this point, the applicant may choose to either go with an NPO for the purchase of an already trained dog or choose to continue with a donated, rescued, or purchased a dog at his/her discretion.
Public Access Test
Your dog must pass the Public Access Test or equivalent.
Good in Public
The dog must prove to be good in public. It must not be aggressive to dogs or humans, must stay by the owner’s side without being a nuisance, and must follow commands without the need of forceful correction. The dog should be able to navigate through crowds of people, in and out of doorways, and calmly lay down next to or under a table as appropriate.
