How do you know if your service dog (in training) is really ready to work? 🐾

In this video, I’m sharing the three quick tests I use right after we get out of the car to see if my dog is focused, connected, and ready for public access training.

I’ll walk you through my pre-work protocol:

  • A chance to relieve on leash

  • Simple pattern games that build confidence and consistency

  • Willingness to vest and warm-up exercises

These only take a couple of minutes, but they give me valuable information about where my dog’s brain is at that day. If they’re not quite ready, I can adjust—whether that means more sniff time, another potty break, or choosing an easier training environment.

Remember: behavior is information. These tests aren’t about perfection; they’re about connection and preparation.

If you are interested in helping others find these resources (and helping me grow the channel) please:

2) Click the thumbs up button on YouTube

3) Leave a comment in the YouTube comments section (even if it's just an emoji or two!)

4) Watch all the way through (increases my watch time which is huge on YT)
