Description of Seminar/Conference
	Service dogs assist their physically disabled partners by performing various tasks including picking up dropped items, opening/closing doors and getting help in an emergency. Hearing dogs alert their hearing impaired partners to sounds including door knocks, telephone rings and crying babies. Click for Independence II builds upon information and skills covered in Click for Independence I. This second seminar is focused on getting you and your dog to the next level of training, enabling you to conquer more advanced assistance dogs’ tasks. How do you create a dog that is an advanced learner? Assistance dog training is full of behavior chains- how do you create a strong behavior chain and transfer it to a disabled client? Release or Rehab? When should a dog be released from potential assistance dog work and what challenges can you work through? Application of tug, push and retrieve- working dogs in the first seminar practiced these behaviors, now let's put them to work practicing real life skills. Training with the client- we will practice how to transition a dog from working for a trainer to working for a client with the least amount of confusion for all! Other?! Participants are encouraged to submit topics and questions they wish to cover when registering.
