This interview / dog evaluation will take between 2 to 2.5 hours. Cost is $150. 

Dogs will remain in your vehicle during the in-person interview.  

• Taking Group Classes: 
• For clients undergoing private training: joining in a group class is a crucial first step. Even if you're not a big fan of group activities, attending one is essential to starting your training journey.

Group and Public classes will commence. 

In person – in home consultation. This consultation takes around one to one and a half hours. Depending on geography and weather, we may do a virtual consultation. This consultation gives us the opportunity to learn more about you, your environment and training needs. 

Each training team will have different needs and timelines for the Public Access Assessment. 

If at anytime during training you feel you as a team are ready to challenge the assessment, a practice assessment can be scheduled. Cost $150. 

This pertains to teams that have not trained with MSD as well. If you would like to set up a practice assessment please email [email protected].

Once training is complete it is time to make an appointment for your Public Access Assessment.
