Pet Dog Ambassador CertificationCertification is not only for the working dog. We all gain a little bit of pride when something we, a family member, or friend, has done is recognised by others. How many of us have Certificates that our children have gained, at school or for a sporting event, proudly displayed on our fridge? I feel that same pride when my dog has achievements. The Pet Dog Ambassador program gives you and your dog recognition for the training you do so you can live together in a harmonious family atmosphere. It is very different from traditional obedience training in that it teaches you and your dog skills for everyday life with a family. Each of the levels increases in difficulty and is rewarded with its own certificate. I offer this program as both trainer and assessor. |

Assistance and Medical Detection Dog CertificationFirstly, I want to make clear that you will be certified by Assistance Dog Services, not the government. My clients are currently fully protected under the federal Disability Discrimination Act, 1992.

Ongoing certification is the same for every program. Every year you will be required to complete a Public Access Test, Task Assessment and ODOR assessment (if applicable). Every second year, you will also be required to complete the test for the final level of Pet Dog Ambassador, in order to maintain your certification. This will be done at the same time as your PAT.
