Effective service dog training in Dubai, UAE
Certified Service Dog Trainer
Service dog training goes beyond basic commands. We focus on building trust and cooperation between you and your companion, empowering both of you to make a meaningful impact together.
What is a Service Dog?
A service dog, or assistance dog, is a highly trained and skilled canine partner that plays a vital role in supporting individuals with disabilities.
Their training goes far beyond basic obedience commands, as they learn complex tasks that can range from guiding the visually impaired and alerting the hearing-impaired to sounds, to retrieving items, opening doors, providing stability for individuals with balance issues, or even alerting their handlers to an oncoming medical emergency!
What is the Difference Between a Service Dog, Therapy Dog and Emotional Support Animal?
A service dog (assistance dog) is specially trained to assist individuals with disabilities by performing specific tasks. It has legal access to public places.
An emotional support animal (ESA) offers emotional comfort to individuals with mental health conditions and has limited legal rights.
Therapy dogs provide comfort in various settings but do not have public access rights.
Why Choose The Pawkeeper for your Service Dog Training Needs?
As a highly qualified service dog trainer, my credentials and expertise set me apart as an exceptional professional in the field. I am proud to hold a certification from the esteemed German Assistance Dog Center TARSQ, signifying my dedication to excellence in service dog training.
With a strong focus on enhancing the lives of individuals with disabilities, I specialize in two crucial areas: psychiatric service dog training and diabetic alert dog training. These specialties allow me to address the specific needs of handlers dealing with psychiatric conditions and diabetes, providing them with invaluable support and assistance.
How Does Service Dog Training Work?
Medical Recommendation/Clearance
Acquire a letter confirming your disabilities and the level of degree.
In addition to your condition, your dog’s treating vet must provide a clean bill of health for your dog to attest that your dog is fit to work.
Training & Temperament Assessment
Once qualified for a service dog, we’ll meet to discuss either picking the right dog for your needs, OR we’ll assess your current dog for service dog work.
The 90 minute consultation can be done virtually or in-person. Training & Temperament Assessment: 600 AED
Training Your Service Dog
Once we decide on training goals (advanced manners and task training), we meet for training sessions, virtually or in-person.
We share a training log which will be updated daily based on performance and training goals.
Note: Service dog training is one of the highest forms of obedience training and only ~5% of dogs make the final cut.
We may discontinue if your dog displays reactivity, fear or aggression, or health concerns at any point.
Final Examination
After successfully completing training which can last between two months and two years, we will meet for a final certification examination.
The exam is based on the international standards and requirements.
Only if you and your dog pass with a score of 90% you will be handed the sought-after certification attesting your dog is a qualified working animal and can accompany you, the handler.
