WHAT IS A SERVICE DOG?
Service dogs are expertly trained to assist individuals with disabilities by performing crucial tasks and providing medical alerts. Beyond guide dogs for the visually impaired, these certified canines address a wide range of disabilities, each trained to meet specific challenges faced by their handlers.
COULD YOUR DOG BE A PERFECT CANDIDATE?
Considering training your pet to become a service dog? It’s essential for service dogs to maintain their training reliably, even in distracting environments. Not all dogs have the temperament suited for service roles. With over 6,000 successful training sessions, our experienced team in Pulaski can assess whether your dog is a good candidate for service work. Contact us to schedule an evaluation, which may include an overnight stay depending on your dog’s age.
PREPARING YOUR DOG FOR SERVICE ROLE
At Certified Canine Services, our specialized trainers create programs tailored to your specific needs. Each service dog starts with a foundational 4-week obedience training to master basic commands, followed by a 2-week public access training. This phase ensures your dog behaves appropriately in various social settings such as theaters, stores, and restaurants.
Next, the training is customized to your specific requirements through task training. This may include skills like wheelchair assistance, item retrieval, door opening, balance support, or diabetic detection. The length of this phase varies based on task complexity and your dog’s learning pace.
