41- 70 points: May need some training.
Your dog is off to a promising start and that’s something to feel good about. With a bit more practice and guidance, they can continue building the skills needed for success. Focusing on areas like reliable commands, loose-leash walking, staying calm, and handling everyday distractions will make a big difference.
This doesn’t mean your dog isn’t a great fit to be a Service Dog. It simply means they may benefit from a little extra preparation before jumping into the full program.
Here are some great next steps:
2. Work Toward the Canine Good Citizen Test
Dogs who can demonstrate solid manners in public are already building a strong foundation for service work. This is a great milestone to aim for as you continue training.
2. Choose the Right Training Path
Every dog (and owner) is unique. We offer a Premier Program which begins with a lodge and train jumpstart, a Puppy Program, and Adult Service Dog training programs, and after your assessment, we’ll guide you toward the option that best supports your goals.
3. Build Skills Through Training Classes
Our obedience and behavior classes are designed to strengthen the exact skills your dog needs, and we also offer one-on-one tutoring for more personalized support.
