CPT custom trains assistance dogs for wheelchair bound, neurologically impaired,
orthopedically impaired, hearing impaired, or psychologically disabled clients.
CPT also trains assistance dogs for children with autism. A CPT custom trained assistance
dog can significantly improve the recipient’s quality of life.
 |
CPT Physical Assistance Dogs open and close doors, open and close refrigerators,
turn on and off lights, retrieve items from the floor, answer telephones, carry
objects, assist in pulling wheelchairs up inclines or rough terrain, assist in transfers,
assist in balance and walking, provide a distress signal, and/or bark aggressively
to repel aggressive persons. |
|
|
CPT Hearing Assistance Dogs identify the sound of an alarm clock, doorbell, door
knock, fire alarm, telephone, baby crying, or other sounds important to the specific
client, then alert the client and respond accordingly. |
|
|
CPT Autism Assistance Dogs prevent a child from bolting via usage of a dual-tethering
system and can aid in locating an escaped child should the child become separated
from the dog or escape while accompanied by the dog. |
|
|
CPT Physical, Hearing, and Autism Assistance Dogs play a valuable role in facilitating social interaction,
expanding confidence, and reducing anxiety. |
|
|
CPT trains assistance dogs to remain calm in indoor and outdoor social settings,
including restaurants, and teaches dogs to ignore distractions while remaining on
task. |
|
|
CPT assists in the registration, documentation, and identification requirements
depending on the laws of a client’s particular state of residence. |
|
|
Dependent upon client specifications and preferences, CPT can either train a client’s
existing pet or locate and evaluate a dog for participation in a client program.
|
|
|
Unlike most service dog companies or non-profits, CPT tailors each program to the
CPT client’s unique specifications and preferences. |
|
|
After training the dog, usually in a board training program, performed in a real-life
environment at the home of a CPT trainer, CPT provides client training, which can
occur at the CPT Training Center and/or the home of the client. |
|
|
Most non profit service dog organizations have long waiting periods due to excessive
demand. In contrast to non-profits, CPT does not rely on donor money. Our clients
pay directly for their dog and/or the training. Thus, clients with financial resources
will find working with CPT advantageous, as they can receive a trained, ready-to-work
animal in a matter of months, instead of years. |
Since each client program is custom designed, please contact the CPT office by e-mail
(info@cpt-training.com) or phone (770-396-6433)
to receive a preliminary program design and/or cost estimate.
