​Our program is an 11-week program with week 11 being a formal graduation ceremony. During the first 6 weeks, you will meet weekly for 60-90 minutes with our team of instructors, evaluators, and volunteers. During these sessions, you will be shown how to perform and have the opportunity to practice the items on the AKC Canine Good Citizen test, which must be passed to graduate.

​

During weeks 8-10 you and your classmates will be paired up with seasoned teams for on-site visitations. This will give you insight into what to expect when you are out in the field after graduation. This also allows our instructors and evaluators to assess you and your dog in a working environment and provide guidance as to what areas of volunteer work you may be best suited for. Week 10 is test and certification week!

​Are you already a seasoned team and looking for a new home? We do not require seasoned teams to complete a 10-week program as most organizations do. We value your experience and welcome you to join us. Seasoned teams must complete the application forms, complete a one-time assessment, conduct a visit with one of our established teams, and pay for your new vest and insurance through Pawsitive Changes!

​

We also offer enrichment and continuing training opportunities to keep both you and your canine sharp and on target.
