Who this is for
Doggy High School is designed for trained service-dog prospects that need additional proofing before they’re ready to work confidently with their handler. It is intended for appropriately trained dogs that need advanced support—not dogs beginning obedience or service-dog training from scratch.
This program provides valuable real-world practice when the handler is unable to conduct these sessions themselves.
What sessions may include
Executing obedience and trained tasks in public environments
Practicing calm, neutral behavior around distractions
Building confidence and reliability outside the home
Proofing disability-related service tasks
Improving focus and responsiveness while working
Program limits
Public training is conducted only where legally permitted and does not guarantee that every dog will qualify for service work.
