Service Dog Training: Transfer Camp for Talos

Talos (Big T, as I affectionately call him) made the news in Charlottesville, VA.

The Great Dane and his new partner, Kathy, kicked off their Transfer Camp.Transfer Camp helps both the service dog and the recipient familiarize themselves with one another. And a local tv station was there to capture the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

Kathy learns all about service dogs.

The law, Talos’ needs, how he can help her, his cues, how to care for Talos, and much more. Talos learns all about Kathy: her gait, how her cues may differ from what he’s used to, her needs, and her personality.

Camp days are long.

They’re tough. There’s a lot of learning and bonding that needs to happen in two weeks. But I know Kathy and Talos are up to that challenge.

What People Are Saying

Smart Dog U really helped me deal with my first puppy and help me grow her (Etta) into a sweet little girl. Without that training from SDU this would have been a tough journey.

Ingrid Copeland

We did in-home training and group classes which helped us welcome Ember into our family. Her understanding of both dogs and busy families made the training easy and guilt-free.

Beth Schillaci

Thank goodness I discovered Smart Dog University! Laurie’s methods quickly made me realize that I was the one in need of training. The end result: A well behaved pup (Kasey) who is a true companion!

Matt Church

Laurie is someone Your Dog’s Friend depends on for good information on dog behavior and training presented in an engaging, understandable way. She has done free workshops for us; we have used her articles in our newsletter; and she is a trainer whom I can refer people to with total confidence.

Debra Ekman, Your Dog’s Friend

Laurie is a very knowledgeable and experienced trainer. She does a wonderful job with both the dog and owner. She is easily approachable and genuinely wants to make sure you and your dog are getting the most out of her classes.
