9) Recall with distractions present (coming when called).  Handler goes out 20–ft. (off center) and calls dog, and

This will be a 6-class program held for 1 hour each lesson period. Training will be conducted in public areas, such as parks, city sidewalks, buildings, etc.

Dogs must be old enough to have received necessary immunizations such as rabies vaccines (or a titer test) and show proof that they are current.  Written proof will be required to show current immunizations.


Owners will sign the Responsible Dog Owners Pledge attesting to having the dog under the routine care of a veterinarian who will work with the owner to determine an appropriate plan and schedule for vaccines, proper diet, exercise plan and other health care procedures. 


NO EXTENDABLE LEASHES will be permitted in class or for the evaluation.  


You will need a 4', 5' or 6' Solid leash.  It is suggested that your buckle have a "metal" hasp/connector; NOT a "plastic" one.  This also applies to your collar. 


Chain/choke collars and prong collars are allowed for training purposes but not the evaluations.  NO HARNESS may be used for training sessions.  A harness may be used, for the evaluation, provided it does NOT hamper the dog movements and ability to perform required tasks.


                               ~ ~ ~


For the Community Canine, Urban Canine, Therapy Dog Courses, & Trick Dog programs, you MUST have an AKC number & have a Canine Good Citizen (CGC) award ON FILE with the AKC PRIOR to testing for these titles.


One of these 3 types will be needed:  AKC registration number, Purebred Alternative Listing (PAL), or AKC Canine Partners.  


All dogs, including mixed breeds, can get an AKC number. The reason for the AKC number requirement is that this is how the AKC creates titles; they attach the titles to the dog’s number. 


To get a number, if you do not already have one, you may go to:

Now, more than ever, fitness is important for both dogs and people. The most commonly recommended exercise to improve fitness is walking. Walking is considered a safe activity that improves muscular strength, circulation, memory, weight loss, increases energy, helps with sleep, and reduces stress.  Other reasons to walk your dog:


1. Walking provides exercise & mental stimulation;

2.  Walking is good for your dog's long-term health;

3.  Walking helps with your dog's socialization; and

4.  Walking your dog is a training opportunity.


If you walk with your dog on a regular basis, join the ranks of AKC FIT DOG and get your free (5-3/4 inches) FIT DOG logo car magnet.  The AKC FIT DOG magnet proudly declares to the world that you are committed to your dog’s health and fitness through regular exercise.

1. Walked at least 30 minutes, 5 times per week for a total of at least 150 minutes per week for at least 3 months. For dogs and people in good shape.

or

2. Walked at least 15 minutes per session at least 10 times per week (e.g., two 15-min walks per day) for at least 3 months. For dogs or people who would benefit from a walk that is a shorter duration, e.g., senior dogs.

AKC TEMPERAMENT TEST (ATT):

WhiteHaven Canine is an approved Evaluator for the AKC Temperament Test (ATT).


This program is considered a Title and can be added to your dog's record. 

It will test the dog in six (6) categories of stimuli that include:

1) Social, 2) Auditory, 3) Visual, 

4) Tactile, 5) Proprioceptive (motion), and 6) Unexpected stimulus

The AKC Temperament Test (ATT) was developed to bring focus and provide a meaningful evaluation to assess the temperament of our canine companions.

The ATT tests how a dog reacts to a variety of stimuli. Desirable traits are that the dog will be emotionally stable, inquisitive, cooperative, appropriately social for its breed, biddable and demonstrates the ability to recover from a startling situation in a reasonable amount of time.


Undesirable traits are fear, shyness, lack of cooperation and an inability to recover from unfamiliar or unexpected situations. Examples of undesirable behaviors include being afraid of friendly strangers or unfamiliar stimuli, obsessive barking, and aggression.


To qualify for the title of ATT, the dog must be tested twice by two different evaluators and make application to the AKC.
