Psychiatric Service Dog Training Old

I can teach your dog to perform tasks that help mitigate your stressful moments/anxiety attacks. Together we determine which behaviors your dog should be prompted to perform when you need to be calmed or reminded to take medication or lie down and/or call your healthcare provider…whatever the need might be.

The Process

Initial Consultation and Evaluation

I assess your dog’s knowledge base and building on that, deciding on a protocol while setting specific goals, jump starting needed behaviors and explaining how to practice those new skills with you.

DURATION: 90 minutes

Includes follow-up support via text as needed.

Traveling With Your Dog?

Recently there have been some important changes in the rules and regulations that allow you to travel with your dog by air.

YOUR SERVICE DOG IN PUBLIC:

In order to fulfill the airlines’ and Department of Transportation’s (DOT) requirements your dog must be deemed safe and well behaved. No matter what job your service dog performs for you, traveling requires a behavior skill set that your dog might not really have. I can help your dog acquire those skills so you can be sure that you are both confident and stress-free when you travel.

I will work with you and guide you until I feel comfortable attesting to the fact that your dog indeed can travel with you and can reliably behave in public. I will then provide you with a letter confirming that.

Pre-requisites

Please note, in order to qualify as a Psychiatric Service Dog your dog needs to be prescribed by a mental health professional, regardless of how well trained they might be.

This service does not include seeing eye dog/guide dog training or protection dog training.

Other requirements prior to training:

  • Fully House Trained
  • Able to settle on the floor next to you even with major distractions
  • Show no aggression towards other dogs or humans
  • No jumping up on strangers
  • No barking
  • No begging for food
  • Needs to have traveled before

Service Options

COMPREHENSIVE IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD

This Consultation is an evaluation of your dog’s current skill set for public access and for the actual service provided by the dog. Providing a plan to refine those skills and prepare the dog to perform as a service dog in private and public.
