It's really not much different than the AKC Good Canine Citizen test, just adds medical equipment in some, in others the tester gags and coughs in their face to see how they react, etc. In other words, try to mimic situations a dog is likely to encounter in the "job". Once you're confident your dog will perform well, you have to go to a testing site (also on their website) and be tested. If you pass, you send in the paperwork along with $35.00 and they....eventualy....will send you your paperwork. I'll warn you, the process is long, but so worth it. Good luck and if I can answer any more questions, feel free to PM me. |
Oh thanks-----I have been talking about doing this with Milo because he loves on everyone he meets.
Seriously, like they are a long lost friend.
Would be a shame not to spread all his extra love around!
