Handlers must be able to see their dog and the instructor, be able to hear verbal instructions, be able follow written directions, and be able to maintain physical control of their dog (i.e., strength and balance). The ability to manipulate small objects (i.e., treats) with at least one hand is preferred, but there are adaptive devices to assist. Dog training requires cognitive abilities and emotional regulation skills.
