This module provides criteria and instructions for employees to submit their video to Dog Handler Academy for review prior to receiving their course certification. Employees must submit a video that shows them as the trainer with a dog, demonstrating the following items from DHA’s Dog Handler to Day Trainer program:

• • • Walking the dog, call the dog’s name, and give the dog treats along the walk.
    • General loose leash walking (without using the dog’s name).
    • An example with “wait” command (e.g., enter/exit through a door with the dog with the dog waiting to enter/exit).
    • An example with “anh-anh” command and spatial pressure.

• A PDF of the employee’s Dog Handler to Day Trainer course certificate is provided for the employee to save and the option to print. Please ensure the employee has provided you with their certificate; after the employee completes the course, you and the employee only have access to the course for 60 days.
