Can You Help Me Train My Service Dog with Sharon Wachsler

Are you a pet trainer who gets requests for help with service dog training? Whether your clients are asking for private service dog lessons or you have discovered that the pup who’s been taking classes with you for months is intended as a future service dog, this FREE webinar will help you better serve your clients and their dogs. We’ll answer these questions:

Learning Objectives

• What makes an appropriate potential service animal, is it different for psychiatric service animals, and how should you discuss this topic with clients?
• What are the most important considerations when starting a puppy or young dog as a future service animal? Are there behaviors you should start earlier or avoid?
• What are the similarities and differences between coaching pet dog clients and service dog clients? How can you tell if this is a good niche for you and your business?
• When to refer to a service dog specialist? Should you get the pup started and then refer out? What if you’re uncomfortable with any type of service dog training? How to find reputable referrals?
