Dog Tips

  All this week, Dr. CJ Betancourt of the Foundation for Service Dog Support is sharing tips and information that have to do with facilitation dogs, service dogs and court dogs:

A court dog will need a place to call their own at work, just as humans need a desk or office space. The handler should have a bed and dishes set up for the dog so that they will have a familiar place to rest during the day. Prior to actually beginning work, allow the dog to visit the buildings and sniff empty courtrooms. Consider scheduling a meet and greet for the dog to meet judicial staff, attorneys and personnel. This will make for a more successful working experience for all involved.

    These tips become more useless for the “normal” dog owner every day… can we move to more generic tips? These are little use to the average dog owner…
