If you are looking for specialized Service Dog training, the certified trainers at Misty Pines can help prepare you and your dog for the necessary requirements. Some of the specialties our staff can address include (but are not limited to):
- Autism Support
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Support
- Seizure Alert
- Scent Searching/Tracking a Lost Disabled Person
All dogs that are to be Misty Pines Certified Service Dogs will need to complete three main components.
Obedience and Manners
It is expected that dogs looking to become certified have a high level of obedience and manners in a multitude of situations. Our group classes are geared toward building a solid obedience foundation that has practical applications for pets and working Service Dogs alike. If you are starting out with a puppy, more classes may be necessary to build these skills. Adult dogs that have already started with obedience skills may not need many classes. It will be important for you to talk with a trainer when you come for classes to discuss your goals and needs, such as retrieving or scent searching.
CGC Test
Passing the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test is the second component of Misty Pines Service Dog certification. Dogs that pass this test have demonstrated that they are able to perform appropriate obedience and manners in the home and out in the community. Misty Pines offers CGC Prep Classes to help prepare you for the exam, which we host quarterly. The testing fee is $25/attempt.
Public Access Test
The Misty Pines Public Access Test is the final component of Service Dog Certification. Dogs will need to have been given a minimum of 120 hours of schooling over 6 months or more, and at least 30 hours devoted to outings in public places. The test will contain exercises to be executed around vehicles, retail stores, and a restaurant setting. The owner will need to provide a disability letter from their doctor and show proof of Service Dog Insurance through their home owners insurance prior to scheduling the Public Access Test.
All Service Dogs in training must be outfitted with an appropriate vest and patch designation. Please refer to the websites below regarding Service Dog ID cards and vests.
Dog/handler teams will receive a certificate of completion upon passing the Public Access Test. Completion of all 3 components may take 1-2 years depending on the dogs manners and maturity, as well as socialization around other dogs and people. It is imperative to have a well-socialized dog for service certification. Please contact the Misty Pines Training Staff to help direct your training to suit your needs.
