Service Dog Program
At No Monkey Business we are proud to work with people on self training their own service dog for all kinds of needs and disabilities. It lasts at least a year long and requires commitment from the handler and team. It involves mixing basic classes with private training to work on teaching you and your dog how to perform the duties needed to be a service dog, as well as behave properly in any situation out and about. The final step is evaluating, testing and passing the dog for the public access test.
Every dog and handler team should discuss their goals and needs prior to signing up for a class and starting the process with NMBDT. If you are interested in this program and scheduling an evaluation please read these following requirements first. There is no timeline on how long it will take, but teams should expect at least a year of regular training and working one on one with Helen to achieve your goals!
- Your dog may not have any reactivity or aggression towards people, children or other dogs
- Your dog may not have extreme fear or stress in public situations
- Prior training or experience is a plus but NOT required
- We can help you SELECT a dog also!
