	    <div class="AccordionPanelTab">Service Dog Training</div>
	    <div class="AccordionPanelContent"><p>A service dog requires training in three areas: obedience, tasks training or work, and public access 
        training (distraction proofing and generalization), on top of the socialization he should have received.</p>

		<p>Core obedience skills include: sit, down, stay, waiting at doors, heeling, coming when called, and lying down even when he is a distance 
        away from his handler (called an "emergency drop").</p>

		<p>The National Service Dog Center compiled and released a manual listing core skills necessary for task training which is available for free 
        download at: <a href="http://www.petpartners.org/document.doc?id=170">Here</a></p>

		<p>Minimum standards for public access training (proofing and generalization of skills learned in the first two phases) are available from IAADP.</p>

		<p>You may also review the minimum standards Assistance Dogs International requires of all of it's member programs for reference. 
        This is the least amount of training acceptable for passing, but is not the full extent of the training each dog is actually 
        supposed to receive.</p>

	    <div class="AccordionPanelTab">Bad Behavior</div>
	    <div class="AccordionPanelContent"><p>Obedience training doesn't solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. 
        Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want her 
        to do. You can teach her anything from 'stay' (don't bolt out the door) to 'sit' (don't jump up on the visitors) to 'off' (don't chew the furniture).</p>
		<p>Obedience training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. 
        A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained one. A trained dog will come when called.</p>

      <div class="AccordionPanel">
	    <div class="AccordionPanelTab">Reprimands</div>
	    <div class="AccordionPanelContent"><p>Some dogs feel they are constantly bombarded with, 'NO, Stop that, get off, Bad dog!' They tend to get used to it and so the reprimands become meaningless and are ignored. If most of our interaction with the dog is praise for good behavior, then reprimands will take on much more meaning. Whenever you find the need to reprimand your dog, immediately show him what you want him to do, then reward him for getting it right. If you catch him chewing the furniture, tell him, 'Off!' Then immediately direct him to his own toys, enthusiastically entice him to chew on them and praise him for doing so.</p>
        <br>
        <p>If done correctly, your voice alone is sufficient for reprimand. A correct reprimand is short, sharp and immediate. Don't continue to nag the dog and never reprimand him unless you catch him in the act. Never hit, kick, slap or spank your dog. This type of inappropriate punishment always creates more problems and usually makes existing problems worse. Not only will you have a barking, chewing dog, but one that is leery, hand-shy, fearful or aggressive.</p>
        </div>
      </div>
      <div class="AccordionPanel">
	    <div class="AccordionPanelTab">Rewards</div>
	    <div class="AccordionPanelContent"><p>The single most important aspect of training is rewarding your dog for good behavior. The more times the dog is rewarded, the quicker he will learn. Therefore, it's essential that you set up situations repeatedly in order for your dog to get plenty of practice at doing the right thing. It's equally as important that you always praise your dog for good behavior instead of taking it for granted. It's easy to forget to praise good behavior because it goes unnoticed. But the very nature of misbehavior gets our attention. We don't notice when our dog is lying quietly, but excessive barking gets our attention. How many of us take notice and praise our dogs when they chew their own toys? But we all go berserk when we notice our favorite pair of shoes chewed up! Praise and reward are the most important part of maintaining good behavior and preventing problems from arising.</p>
