We are still accepting applications for Hudson until Dec. 1st!
Read on to learn more about him ๐ฉ
Hudson is currently 4 months old, and while living with us he is learning skills for his future as a service dog! He will spend 6 months here to prepare for placement.
He is anticipated to grow to 60-70lbs
Over the next few months, he will be learning:
-All his basic obedience, including heel, sit, down, stand, stay, and recall
- Public access skills, such as tucking out of the way, settling for long periods, polite greetings, and not sniffing shelves or approaching dogs/strangers
-Crate training
-Nose touch, and paw target (can be used for mobility tasks)
-Task foundations, including deep pressure therapy
- Socialization, so he is comfortable and confident for car rides, around other animals and kids, grooming, being handled, and continuing training in public with his future handler!
Once his training is finished and we have found the right placement, he will be delivered to his new handler and I will spend 2 full days conducting one-on-one placement training with them to make sure all those skills transfer smoothly.
Hudson is being trained with reward based methods, as is standard for our program. We ask his handler follow the program they will be provided all the knowledge for this!
This is a collaboration with (Hudson's breeder) on this project and his future home will also receive their support and information! Everyone involved is super excited for this project and to watch this little boy succeed.
