Want a dog you can confidently take to dog-friendly cafes, shops, and hotels? Our Public Access Training program is the final step in creating a perfectly behaved canine companion who can handle any public environment with calm and grace. This is the highest level of obedience training we offer.
See if your dog is ready for public access training.
We train in busy public places like Las Olas Boulevard, Mizner Park, and local shopping centers, not just a sterile facility. Your dog learns to be calm and composed in the exact environments you want to take them.
This elite program is the pinnacle of our training, exclusively for dogs who have mastered our Off-Leash program. It's the final step to total reliability in any public setting.
While this is not a service dog certification program, it provides the exact high-level skills and public exposure required for dogs on a service or therapy dog track.
Our comprehensive public access training transforms your dog into the ultimate well-mannered companion for any public setting.
Navigating crowded sidewalks, stores, and tight spaces without pulling, sniffing, or getting distracted by anything around them.
Your dog will lie down calmly under a table at a restaurant or next to you in a store for extended periods, ignoring everything around them.
Complete focus on you while ignoring dropped food, loud noises, shopping carts, other people, and dogs passing by.
Politely ignoring people who approach, or greeting them calmly only when you give the specific permission cue.
Entering and exiting cars, elevators, and doorways calmly and safely without rushing or pulling ahead of you.
Preparing your dog for stress-free experiences in dog-friendly hotels, airports, and on public transport.
We've refined our approach to deliver consistent, lasting public access reliability for you and your dog.
We verify your dog's 100% reliable off-leash skills from our previous program, ensuring they are ready for the challenge.
We start in quieter public areas like a local plaza during off-peak hours to build initial confidence and introduce new expectations.
We systematically increase the difficulty, training in the busiest environments Broward has to offer, like downtown Fort Lauderdale.
We focus on teaching you how to read your dog, anticipate challenges, and handle any public situation with confidence.
Get answers to the most common questions about our public access training program.
No. This program teaches the high-level obedience skills necessary for a service dog's public work, but it does not result in a service dog certification. We provide the foundational training for owners who may be pursuing that path independently.
We train in the real world! Sessions take place at a variety of dog-friendly public locations across Broward County, such as outdoor malls, parks, cafes, and stores like The Home Depot to ensure your dog is prepared for anything.
In public access work, a neutral, calm demeanor is key. A dog that tries to greet every person can be a nuisance or even a hazard. We teach them to be politely indifferent unless given a specific cue to interact.
The Off-Leash program creates reliability in open spaces like parks and beaches. The Public Access program builds on that by teaching the dog to handle the close quarters, constant distractions, and specific etiquette of indoor and crowded public settings.
Absolutely. Through the advanced "place" command and heavy distraction proofing, we teach dogs to lie down and relax for long durations, even with food and people all around. It's a game-changer for owners who want to socialize.
This is our most advanced program, typically consisting of 8-10 specialized sessions after the completion of our Off-Leash program. The exact duration depends on the dog's temperament and the owner's goals.
We bring our private public access training to you, conducting sessions at dog-friendly locations throughout Broward County.
