Service Dog Training - Public Access Training Episode 2 - MASTERING Public Restrooms!
Most dogs without any training can find public restrooms an unpleasant or even worrisome place to be. This video is created to help service dog teams MASTER Public Restrooms and the weird, creepy and loud noises that happen in them! Although this video is made for service dog teams, it is highly beneficial for pet dogs in order to teach them to be confident going places like groomers, vets as well as going in your own bathroom to be bathed.
A wonderful thing about breaking the training up into small steps is that you see your dog make progress and you are building on frequent small successes which can be very reinforcing and motivating for the handler.
