Intensive Good Canine Citizen Training Course now available on SDTSI’s web portal

Thu, 07 Oct 2021 14:55:05 +0600

SDTSI’s course based - good canine citizen training is definitely one of the most basic training courses offered by the school, and it could not be left out the list of courses made available online by Service Dog Training School International.

This course trains dogs to behave in private and in public and lays the basis for further training as service dog or therapy dog. It prepares dogs to undergo the American Kennels Club Canine Good Citizen test (AKC CGC), so that they can be certified as CGC.

There are many benefits in getting a dog certified for CGC, first and foremost at the end of the training the dog owner will have a good mannered and obedient dog, and both dog and owner will have a better mutual understanding and a stronger bond. The dog will be able to handle itself gracefully in public and will be a welcome addition to the community. With the AKC CGC certificate, the dog will be able to attend therapy dog training courses, which now require the canine good citizen certification as a prerequisite. Travelling with a CGC dog companion will be so much easier, as CGC dogs are well accepted at restaurants, hotels, and other businesses. CGC certification will play a significant role also when applying for home leasing or renting. Some organizations even offer discounts to CGC certified dogs.

It is a course to consider if you love your dog and want him by your side not only at home, but also going for a walk in the park or city center, going shopping or travelling in total safety.

The course based - good canine citizen training available on Service Dog Training School International website, which can be taken completely online on your computer or on portable devices through the SDTSI app, provides training for all ten skills required by the CGC test:

1. Accepting a friendly stranger

2. Sitting politely for petting

3. Allowing basic grooming

4. Walking on a loose lead

5. Walking through a crowd

6. Sitting and lying down on command and staying in place

7. Coming when called

8. Reacting appropriately to another dog

9. Reaction appropriately to distractions

10. Calmly enduring supervised separation

The course and test have no dog breed or age limitation, any dog can be able to successfully pass the test if properly trained. Trainers at Service Dog Training School International provide one-on-one support and tutoring during the course, to make sure the dog can reach its milestones and pass the test smoothly. Plus, the techniques they employ in training are all based on positive reinforcement, aiming at establishing the strongest possible bond between dog and owner, which makes the training just so much fun for both.

Peaceful Pets DFW Introduces Aquamation to North Texas Press Release Latest News

Mon, 01 Jun 2020 08:08:16 +0600

Peaceful Pets DFW (PPDFW) opens the first pet aquamation crematory in North Texas on June 1, 2020. Located in Arlington, the company offers a gentle, greener way for pet owners to say goodbye with a process called aquamation.

PPDFW provides families and veterinarian clinics 24/7 concierge services, pick and delivery, as well as customized keepsakes and urns. "Pet owners can call us directly or through their vet clinic or hospital by requesting us," explains Tasasha Tell, PPDFW Chief Marketing Officer.

The PPDFW team is made of skilled professionals with more than 25 years experience in the memorial services industry. They began serving families during their soft launch mid-May, immediately garnering 5-star reviews.

When asked about the vision for the company, Christie Moore, PPDFW CEO shared, "This is an excellent opportunity for us to serve our community and environment. There are lots of ways we can use aquamation to support our local city municipalities with their animal control and rescue services."
