You're seeing this video ad-free and a day early. Thank you for being a Patreon member!

Personal Note: Of the videos that I have made, I am most proud of the effort and training that went into this video. My friends, Eve and Ari, have been training with their dogs for nearly 2 years, and actually came to California from Toronto, Canada and Bend, Oregon, in part, to take part in this video. If you find this video valuable, I would really appreciate it if you interacted with the video on YouTube directly (by clicking on the YouTube logo and watching it on YouTube, liking, commenting and sharing with a friend). This helps spread the video to other viewers who may also find it valuable. And a big thanks to Eve and Ari for showing off the amazing work they are doing with their service dogs. 

In this video, I walk you through the Service Dog Public Access Test, demonstrating key skills that every service dog needs to work in public. With Byxbee and Figment as examples, I highlight important behaviors such as controlled entry, loose leash walking, handling distractions, and performing tasks. This video offers a valuable look into the standards and training required for service dogs to be effective and well-behaved in real-world environments.

Happy Training Ya'll!

Thanks for this very informative video Laura! I just passed the CGC test from the AKC. Is the PAT under the AKC too or an other organisation? Thanks :)

DOGGY•U

Glad you enjoyed the vid and congrats on your CGC! There is no standard public access test. Some trainers will perform one for you if you want, but if you don't have a trainer, you can always have a friend or family member administer a PAT. But there's no "certification" or standard test in the US. The closest thing to it would be the AKC CGCU though if you wanted to formally take that evaluation!

Anna Budinick

Do you not allow the handler to use any treats as a reinforcer after performing each item successfully?

Anna Budinick

I didn't see any being used, just pets and praise, which is why I was curious. Thanks! My trainer for all my testing allowed me to reward with treats AFTER each test item was completed. So just getting another perspective is nice!
