How long will it take to become a certified team with WOOF?
WOOF expects first time handlers to certify within 12-18 months from being accepted into the unit as a candidate. To do so involves sticking to the training program, attending trainings, and implementing the lessons in between trainings and unit workouts. WOOF also recognizes that sometimes life throws people curve balls and as such there are circumstances when it takes longer to become certified. We would rather have a solid team take a little longer to become field-ready than set a strict deadline; at the same time the handler that isn’t putting the time and effort into training and participation will need to look elsewhere for a hobby with their dog. The bottom line is work closely with the WOOF handlers to get where you want to be – in the field searching with your dog!
