This is a trial run for this new program! If you are interested in participating, please post below!!
Ever worked in RL with dogs to be certified as Therapy Dogs? Well, until now there hasn't been that option for our virtual friends. Now you can do this with your favorite petz too!
Essentially, you will train your dogz to do a certain set of tasks, send the pet to a certified tester OR video your pet and send it/post it and the dog will earn the title Therapy Dog!
What: After completing this new 'live' testing method, your dog will have earned their ThD title:)
How: Train you pet to do the tasks specified for the test and send your pet in for testing!
Why?: For fun! And to add another title to your petz resume:)
Eventually there will be two levels to this testing, but for now only one is available to see how much interest there is:)
.:Rules:.
1) Please only send your pet to a certified tester, to guarantee that nothing will happen to them:) Right now I am the only certified tester, but we are looking for maybe one to two other longstanding PC members:)
2) You pet MUST perform the task on the first try. If the tester has to repeat a command/test, your dog does not pass. This should NOT be a problem for any of the tasks on the first level as long as you practice.
3) after testing, your dog WILL be able to perform learned commands in my game(s), you just need to specify which game/treats you used! Just fill out the form and all shall be ok.
.:Tasks:.
For Entry level ThD- Therapy Dog
Commands
Up- Any trick
Down- sit/down alert
Left- any left trick
Right- any right trick (must match left trick. i.e. if I train roll left, then I must also train roll right)
Tasks
1) Dog must jump over presented hoop
2) Dog must come when called (at least move towards handler)
3) Dog must accept grooming and handling (brushing without aggression)
