Canine Solutions will be implementing appropriate protocols in regards to maintaining social distance while handing off your dog.
Protocol for Hand Off
There are a couple of different approaches we can utilize to maintain appropriate social distance while handing off your dog for care.
Our commitments:
- Our trainer will call or text upon arrival to coordinate hand off.
- Our trainers will provide their own leash for walks that will be sanitized with a viral-cidal cleaner after each use.
- The trainers will carry hand sanitizer on them at all time and clean their hands immediately upon exiting their vehicle and before handling your dog.
- We recommend harnessing your dog yourself so that the trainer need not handle your equipment or dog more than absolutely necessary.
- Consultations will be conducted virtually to limit potential contact.
Techniques for Transferring Care of Your Dog
Once the trainer arrives at your home:
- Hand off at the door:
- Hold or Tuck your leash to your door handle and allow your dog to exit the door, closing the door between you.
- The trainer will attach their leash and detach yours
- Upon completion of the training session the trainer will return and reattach your leash, then call/text you to hand off.
- The trainer will wait with your dog until you reclaim possession
- Transfer in the yard:
- If you have a secured yard the trainer can enter your yard and wait for you to you let your dog out.
- By your preference the trainer may remain in your yard
- Upon completion the trainer will text or call and remain in your yard until you have resumed control of your dog.
Additional Recommendations:
Canine Solutions Trainers will operate with best sanitation practices while handling your dog. We will eliminate any gratuitous contact between the trainer and your property and dog. Never-the-less we still recommend washing or disinfecting your training hardward after our trainer visits.
