About the Event
This seminar is to prepare teams for the Pet Therapy Test. Â Teams should already have good general voice and leash control. Â We will focus on Pet Therapy test and not basic obedience.
Join us as our evaluator, Christine Macdonald, will give a run through of the Pets & People test to know what to expect and give you some pointers on how to help you and your dog succeed with the Pets & People Test. Â Pointers for testing include:
- how to approach and maneuver around various pieces of hospital equipment (it’s not as easy as one might think!)
- how to help your dog ignore the food on the floor or directly offered by a person (yes, food is directly offered or dropped in front of dog!)
- leash control while there is a distraction (no pulling, calm control by handler, minimal voice needed)
- meeting and greeting new people. Â No excess licking or jumping on people allowed, we look for a calm enthusiasm and comfort in a variety of settings
- calm while there is a noise like a loud vacuum or alarm. Â There will be loud distractions that your dog needs to be able to walk by
Please note: All seminar attendees are required to wear a mask.
Please email your pet's rabies documentation to our Director of Volunteers ASAP. Â Volunteers@petsandpeoplefoundation.org
