Why do I offer virtual training? ⬇️

🐾My goal is to teach you how to effectively communicate with and work with your dog to reach your goals, whether I am there or not!

🐾Virtual coaching allows for real time help in your natural environment without the added distraction of me there.

🐾It also allows for flexible scheduling, Q & A support outside of sessions, and video feedback from your week! DM to learn more about our virtual programs!

🐕‍🦺Figuring out if a dog is a suitable prospect of service work can be daunting and feel unknowable at times, and that's because it often is!

🐕‍🦺It is impossible to know whether a dog will be fit for public access work from any one test or evaluation, but rather is often from a collection of observations of behavior, confidence, and reliability over time.

🐕‍🦺All service dog prospects should have the following baseline traits before being considered to start training!

🐕‍🦺If you need help with the process of picking a prospect, DM us for more information on how we can help!

Ever wonder why it takes just the right dog to be a service dog ⬇️

It is often because public access work is challenging for both dogs and handlers and it takes the right dog, and match, to do successfully, happily, and long term.

Feeling unsure if your service dog in training is ready to start public access training in non-pet friendly stores?

Here are a few skills they need before you start:
🐾 Being neutral and relaxed in pet friendly locations so that they
can reliably focus on you

🐾 Loose leash walking past and around distractions, including but
not limited to different people, animals, scents, and underfootings

🐾Reliable stay (and additional obedience) around distractions

🐾The ability to settle during pauses

🐾 Resilience to be comfortable around novel experiences that may
happen!

🐕‍🦺Astro is 9 months old and I am enjoying every moment with him! He is a goofy, snuggling, very willing pup that is working and playing hard! He enjoys lots of cuddles, zooming, and enrichment and is doing very well with his obedience, low blood sugar alerts, and public access behaviors.

🐕‍🦺He is continuing to work on choosing to settle on the house with the other dogs loose, auto leave its, and taking treats calmly even when exciting things are happening!

🐕‍🦺Over the next month we will be increasing duration and distraction for obedience and public access, and continuing to work on his skills!
