he 7th annual ACVO National Service Dog Eye Exam event will provide a free eye exam to active program-trained and certified working dogs! This includes Service Dogs which are task-trained to help disabled individuals as well as other working dogs such as Police Dogs, Search and Rescue Dogs, Detection Dogs and Military Working Dogs.

During the 2014 Service Dog Challenge Week Four, you started reinforcing handler focus. By this point, your partner should offer rock-solid eye contact almost as a default. Now, it's time to engrain that handler focus in all situations and make it a habit. If there's something distracting going on, then self control and impulse control are the only things keeping your partner's attention on you.
