Public Access Test

Here's a closer look at what happens during our public access test and some insight as to what it actually takes for our dogs and their owners to get to this point!
Congratulations to all past graduates! you have all done splendid and we can't wait to see what you guys conquer in the future!

Does the public access test have to be done by a professional? Or can I just print the online form and have someone do it for me?

[@Andy_-so9yk]

@Tiny Princess I know :)

I would recommend getting a trainer to do the IAADP one. Having someone that knows dogs and is impartial to your dog is always a good thing when judging behaviour. Preferably you would go with a trainer that has worked with SDs before

@@shibithecatthing thank you :)

Are you allowed to take the public access test on your own/with a friend or family member or do you HAVE to get it done professionally?

[@LexiTheWildWorkingOne]

You don’t have to do it by a professional though I recommend having multiple people doing it and maybe not by family or friends. That’s just what I did for my SD when she first got to that point!
