Week two, we implement foundations one dog at a time, and do some fun training games to keep stress low for your pup!

Week three, we build more on foundational skills, real world set ups, and cooperative care for those pups who find vets and groomers stressful!

We do ask tools such as e-collars, bark collars, prong collars, and slip leads be left at home during our classes. If you have questions or concerns, contact us before signing up. We strive to create a judgement free space and encourage conversation*

Classes are limited to 5 teams, and we ask your dog to stay seated in the car or crated in the car (or in the store as needed, please contact us in advance for this!)

It's so let's highlight these amazing dogs and their jobs! Sherbert Service Dogs specializes in psychiatric service dogs to support those living with disabilities, and empowers them to train up their own dog through coaching, group skills classes, and virtual support. We have 6 amazing dogs in training, and 3 amazing pups in their trial period to ensure this is the best career for them and their handlers!

Our owner trainer program hosts three models:
1) the 2 year program, where we see you from puppyhood to fully trained service dog, equipped with education, obedience skills, tasks and public access training!

2) the one year program, where we help build a strong foundation in obedience, foundations for task training, public access work and handler knowledge!

3) the started service dog program, where we raise a puppy for their handler for 6 months. During this time the handler can visit their SDiT, attend classes to learn about training, and get hands on education in preparation for the remainder of their training together!

Happy FIRST birthday to Hudson, and the River litter from ! 🦮 It's crazy to believe how quickly time has gone by. Hudson got a shiny new Jolly Egg from his puppy raiser , and is spending time cuddling with his person ❤️‍🩹

He is a spunky, independent, cuddly and super smart guy, I can't wait to see what else him and his handler achieve this year, and work together towards being a fully trained service dog! Happy birthday Jordan, Hudson, Trinity, Nike, and Zambezi!

Trick training is a great way to provide low impact games for your dog & bond with them 🐕

SDiT Bucky is demonstrating working with his handler to learn "hands" aka a paw target on the bowl. This is a fun skill that also has many uses, such as:

🐾 Posing on objects for photos

🐾 Climbing on new strange surfaces

🐾 The first step for pivot training

🐾 Targeting paws for fitness exercises (stretches)

And as a bonus, you can earn trick titles while doing so, from the comfort of your home! I've done trick training with all my dogs, and it's enjoyable learning together, and getting creative trying to teach skills. Some of my favourite skills I've done are "leg weaves" and "2-on/2-off pull back on (pull front feet onto platform)"

What's your favourite trick you've taught your dog?

Good things take time to grow, is our mission statement at Sherbert Service Dogs 🩵🐕‍🦺 we have spent the last 7 or so weeks with and his human Shantal with some training to help my schooling.

While starting my search for new dogs to work alongside in my case studies, I knew my friend had been struggling and offered to assist, which she graciously accepted.
Hades is a fantastic service dog and Shantal has worked hard against all odds to help him have a happy and helpful career. Along the way, Hades began to struggle with his confidence and developed some on leash based reactivity.

Over our time together I shared what I saw in conflict Hades presented within himself, his body language, safety handling measures, and exposing him to neutral dogs before adding random dogs in today's session. In our last two sessions we added some light public access after his cape break, and saw 6+ different dogs. Hades did notice them and was more alert, however he didn't react, and Shantal noted he took treats softly, redirected his attention and was able to follow through with tasks! 🐕‍🦺

While my work is almost done, training is a lifelong journey, and what they learn from our time will stay with them as strategies to be successful long term--the ultimate goal of training 🩵

Dayschool for these super summer students! 🐕‍🦺
SDiT Charlie, Athena and Dudley got some practice on their skills in some new environments today. We worked on..

🎒: focus around other dogs
🎒: refining loose leash walking to be a tighter heel
🎒: leave it with floor snacks
🎒: load and unload manners
🎒: settling
🎒: sit & stay

We visited Rona, a drive through, (as you can see by the bandanas!), and Marks Work Wearhouse for these skills 👏
