In the World of Detection, SAR, and HRD Training 🐕‍🦺

We rely on a variety of specialized tools to keep our working dogs safe and effective in the field. These include high-visibility harnesses, dog boots to protect their pads, bells to keep track of them while they work, and Rex Specs to shield their eyes from environmental hazards.

One essential tool we use is the Garmin Alpha 300i GPS tracking collar. This advanced system allows handlers to monitor their dog’s location and make necessary corrections, while also enabling those at the base to track the dog’s movements on another unit.

However, when it comes to teaching a dog its Trained Final Response (TFR)—whether it's sitting, lying down, jumping, or pawing—we believe in letting the dog choose its natural response. Incorrect use of these tools can easily lead to confusion for the dog, which is why it’s crucial to train with experienced trainers who are well-versed in these tools. The goal is to create a cohesive team where the handler and dog work seamlessly together, all in the service of helping the community.

Falcon got to work on HRD today with two new scents and one older one. Plus she worked in new gear Rex Specs, and new boots this is to only protect her eyes and pads while working in our harsh environment, our dogs are our family members and must have the best gear possible.

We love it when our clients share photos and when they get told how well trained their dog is. Andrew and Blaise were in vegas they stayed at Trump towers and Blaise got her own dog bed, dog bowl, treats, toy. While they were there former president Trump was staying at his hotel and they had to go through tons of security checks to enter the hotel Andrew said secret service loved Blaise said she was trained so well. He was so proud. A dog is a reflection of their owner and the training they receive. Andrew gifed us the dog bed thank you.

An Emotional Support Animal (ESA) is a companion animal that provides comfort and support to individuals with emotional or mental health conditions. Unlike service animals, which are trained to perform specific tasks for people with disabilities, ESAs only require basic handling or obedience skills and do not have public access rights under federal law. This distinction is crucial, as ESAs can be any type of animal, but they are not legally recognized as service animals.

While ESAs offer emotional support, they are not the same as therapy animals, which undergo rigorous training to provide comfort in clinical or therapeutic settings like hospitals or schools. ESAs were once permitted to fly in aircraft cabins, but due to incidents of uncontrolled behavior, including attacks, many airlines have banned them from flights.

It's important to note that there is no such thing as a certified ESA. Any certifications offered online are likely fake and misleading. Even in the housing industry, the requirements for allowing an ESA are becoming stricter, making it more challenging for individuals who rely on them for emotional support. This tightening of regulations is unfortunate for those who do not qualify for a service animal but genuinely benefit from an ESA.

At K9 Paws Behavior Dog Training, we are committed to educating the public on the differences between ESAs, therapy animals, and service dogs, ensuring that both owners and the community understand their rights and responsibilities.

Service Dogs vs. Therapy Dogs: Clearing Up Misconceptions

At K9 Paws Behavior Dog Training, we want to provide some clarity on the roles and requirements of service dogs. A common myth we see is the idea that service dogs must be certified—this is not true in the United States. There is no official certification required for a service dog. However, some organizations do offer certifications after the dog and owner complete rigorous training, such as a Public Access Test (PAT) or through documented public access training hours.

Organizations like ASCTI set high standards that our teams follow, ensuring that service dogs are well-socialized, friendly, groomed, and non-aggressive. We also recommend that owners consider obtaining insurance for their service dogs.

Therapy Dogs are different;

they are well-trained family pets that have passed multiple levels of obedience training, including the AKC CGC test. These dogs can visit facilities like schools, hospitals, libraries, and even assist in crisis response situations. Unlike service dogs, therapy dogs are not granted access to all public spaces, and it’s important to note that they are not allowed in prisons. As a former contract trainer in a maximum-security prison, I can attest to the strict regulations and background checks required for such environments.

All our Therapy Dog Teams undergo extensive training, certification, and thorough background checks to ensure they’re prepared for their roles.
