sas Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) Hey Guys, I have never been successful in finding someone to do the Delta CGC test without around 16 weeks of in class training before, does anyone know of a Delta Trainer that will simply administer the assessment or do less than say 16 weeks of training prior to it? I have found 2 trainers in Sydney who will do it but again, around 16 weeks of in class training before hand. Edited June 3, 2014 by sas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melzawelza Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Interested to know this too. Also interested if anyone knows what is required for a trainer to become accredited to do the test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentchild Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 What are the benefits of doing a CGC? I've always been curious. Do you get special permit to take your dog places or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you get special permit to take your dog places or something? If owners want their dogs to be Therapy Dogs, I think this is a requirement before they do the specialised training. My USA friends' dog were all CGC trained and went on to become such dogs. I am hoping for Horrible Herbert to undergo the training when he matures.

gillbear Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 try asking Gail Hudson, she has a very good reputation locally. http://www.woofsandwags.com.au/index.html she isnt local to you but its worth a drive if you can end up avoiding 4 months of unneeded classes.

megan_ Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 In Vic they have assessment days for therapy dogs - no training required. I just looked up "delta therapy dogs@ and went from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megan_ Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 This was the delta program too - not the Dogs Vic one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amax-1 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Quote it has to be through a Delta Assessor I know of an operable guide dog trainer/assessor couldn't sign off on a therapy dog not being Delta accredited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
