Pet Partner Team All-Inclusive Training Course

 

 

Our all-inclusive AAT Package includes an all-day workshop to educate you about how to become a Pet Partner as well as four weeks of specialized dog training to ensure you pass your Pet Partner evaluation!

 

 

Part I. Pet Partner Class - (all day class for people only)

 

Come to our all day class and learn what you need to know as an animal-assisted therapy pet handler. Build skills for working with people, managing your pet to perform best, and understand how to be safe while helping others. As part of your all day class, you will receive the official Pet Partners Manual.

 

Part II. Pet Partner Dog Training Classes

 

Just as important as book knowledge is hands-on training with your pet. The AAT prep school at OHS prepares individuals and their animals to take the national Pet Partner Skills & Aptitude Evaluation exam. Pet Partner teams who pass the exam are recognized as having the skills needed to bring pets into health care facilities, libraries, schools and other organizations.

 

 

What your fee includes

 

1. A full day of Manual Training with a licensed Pet Partners instructor.
2. Four weeks of hands-on training with your dog (Saturdays, 11:00 am- 12:00 pm).
3. A 30 minute private training with the instructor to help you prepare for the evaluation, which is scheduled at your convenience.
4. The Pet Partners Team Manual (normally an additional cost of $40).
5. One evaluation opportunity to become registered as a Pet Partners team. You will sign up for your evaluation day and time during the class.
