Whether pre-puppy or you have a dog already, it's best to schedule some time to speak with us virtually or just give us a call 👍9️⃣3️⃣9️⃣➖2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣➖2️⃣1️⃣5️⃣0️⃣ during  working hours.  

​

Regarding Service Dogs the reality is there's abuse, in which people ask trainers to "certify" their family companion dogs as "service dogs" for various roles or so they can take them into public places usually prohibited to pet dogs.  At CAPR we only certify service dog teams after the successful completion of our program.

 

There are no short cuts, many people misunderstand Service Dog Owner Training to mean focus on obedience training or self-train with no proper help which results in poorly trained service animals, reactive dogs, denial of public access, or no alleviation from the root cause of the disability. We have a 97% success rate with our owner training program.

This is a 12 week relationship based training course focusing on the fundamentals of canine communications and developing the ability to understand and read the signals dogs communicate in the moment.  Both days of training teach the same lecture and classwork.  Also, a lot of focus is on the signals we send to the dog on and off leash.  There is lecture, discussion, video analysis, and homework with a hands on learning experience equaling class time.

 

Along with learning to read both human and dog communication the course provides details on loose leash skills, walking nicely, and handling of a long lead, to help change motivations and learning capabilities of a dog to stop jumping, nuisance barking, and pulling on lead  behaviors naturally.  Online allows puppies, reactive, fearful, over-excited, aggressive, and dogs with anxiety to participate safely allowing for positive learning experiences.

 

There is a low to medium level of physical activity requirement. Foolproof Behavior Training Part 1 ["FBTP1"] course teaches owners how to reduce reactivity, form a deeper and trusting connection, and you'll learn a lot about self and dogs.  

​

If you continue to pursue learning behavior and relationship based training further, it is highly recommended to take Foolproof Behavior Training Part 2 ["FBTP2"]. Should an individual wish to owner train a pet into a Psychiatric Service Dog both this course FBTP1 and FBTP2 are to be taken.

 

Benefits include:​

​​

• Training cooperation

• Creating choice in practical ways to resolve jumping/ barking and high stress behaviors in dogs

• Walking nicely with no pulling on lead

• Proper canine nutrition
