For dogs with suitable temperament it will be possible to move onto Level 2. At this level dogs are trained to ignore food in a variety of situations including those that would be an extreme temptation to the dog. They are taught more advanced control exercises and undergo an advanced socialisation programme.
Dogs at this level are still only able to go into shops and onto public transport where normal pet dogs would be allowed.
At the end of Level 2 there will be an assessment of the client and dog, to pass this dogs must be of the highest standard in training, be well socialised and be of excellent temperament. Completion of this assessment will mean the dog is suitable to go onto Level three.
This assessment will be carried out by an independent assessor from Dog AID i.e. a trainer qualified as an assessor but not the trainer who has worked with the client.
