About
Standardized behaviour assessments are becoming a familiar part of the assistance dog landscape and for good reason. They provide valuable data that helps guide breeding decisions, strengthen placements, and improve long-term outcomes for both dogs and clients. Right now, though, most assessment data is used to answer two main questions: 1) Who should we breed, and 2) Do we keep the dog in training, or release the dog? What’s often missing is the step in between: How do we help this individual dog succeed? This package transforms your existing assessment results into a practical, ready-to-use training plan for each dog and their puppy raiser. Each plan is designed to be: • Assessment-driven and evidence-based - using data you already collect • Focused on cognition and perception - the reasons why behaviour problems are occurring, not just on surface-level behaviour • Tailored to the individual dog - rather than a one-size-fits-all approach • Easy for puppy raisers to follow - with clear guidance and low skill requirements • Built around games and low-stress exercises - that develop skills in supportive environments • Time-saving for staff - eliminating the need to write custom plans from scratch Instead of using assessment data only to make decisions about dogs, this approach uses it to support them. Assessment data can do more than sort dogs. It can help them succeed. The Training Plan Package includes: 20+ Training plans that outline common struggles that your dogs experience 20+ Games based training activities that help your dogs work through their challenges The Training Plans and Games are designed to be accessible to anyone in your organization and support your dogs through common behaviour challenges.
