Before a dog can get into the courtroom, they have to pass through inspection. Dogs and staff must be trained on how to get a dog through metal detectors and past security staff. We suggest using a traditional thin program vest in lieu of a backpack, as dogs must be patted down and checked for weapons and this will make the process easier. The first time, consider scheduling the visit with security staff to have the dog there during a slow time when the procedure can be practiced without rush, and in a friendly manner. Ensure that security is trained to perform the steps the same way each time, to reduce stress to the dog. |
