I have a registered therapy dog with Delta Pet Partners and a therapy dog in training. Sometimes it take more than one try/evaluation to pass. I know of several teams and one took the evaluation 3 times. If Molly's only problem is loose leash walking.... keep practicing, you're almost there!

In conjunction to solid basic training, there are two commands I highly recommend training- 'Watch me' and 'Leave it'. I use these commands over and over again on visits and it has saved us from many situations…. like navigating through heavy hospital foot traffic, walking pass a cart with tiers of dirty food trays at dog's face level, a dropped cap from a vile on the floor etc…

Here’s some helpful tips for evaluation day.
