Service Dog In Training (SDIT) PROTOCOL
DOG TEAMS need to expect public interaction, feedback, questions, and reactions to having a dog out in public places typically deemed off limits to pets. By operating as a Service Dog Team/ SDIT it is important for both handler and dog to behave professionally and not adopt an attitude of entitlement.
Other people may have legitimate allergies and or have had negative experiences with dogs that incite a fearful reaction; your dog will pick up on this response. It is essential to ALWAYS practice GOOD DOG SAFETY; always on the lookout for the unknown distraction or occurrence.
In addition, you cannot know how another person’s dog will respond or behave out in public.
Use a SHORT LEASH if necessary and make certain your dog in under control at all times. Don’t get sloppy with your leash; don’t expect that someone else is following the rules.
With Service Dog training protocol we ask that each dog team gets an AKC CGC evaluation before “Vesting Up”. Dogs in training can wear gear but
NO TRAINING OR SDIT patches until this evaluation has been passed.
By complying with this standard, it is understood that if a dog in training has accomplished these basic skills then Handler Control and Basic Good Dog Behavior is in operation.
It is essential that we DO NOT COMPROMISE THE MISSION. This is one of the reasons we
try to NOT ALLOW anyone to
PET YOUR Service Dog.
If you do let someone pet
your dog please explain =
MOST SERVICE DOGS ARE
NOT TO BE PETTED
as Medical Alert (seizure, diabetes, especially GUIDE DOGS) must be focused on their handler.
