AKC Virtual Puppy Home Manners – On your computer in the comfort of your home.

 Virtual Home Manners Puppy (VHMP) Dogs that pass the tests will be awarded these titles.

The Virtual Home Manners tests assess ten skills  well-mannered pet dogs need in the home setting.  The skills relate to the dog owner having control over the dog, being able to walk the dog (which is one of the most frequently cited activities that owners want to do with their dogs) and developing a bond with the dog during playtime.

The Virtual Home Manners tests are evaluated online by Pamela.

To earn the Virtual Home Manners titles, follow these easy steps:

  1. Dog owners will video their dogs performing the required skills.  You can obtain your checklist from Pamela.
  2. A link to the video will be sent to  Pamela. Zoom, SKYPE, E-MAIL, and other live formats may also be used for evaluating Virtual Home Manners. Contact us via email or phone to set up your private viewing. 
  3. After watching the video, if the dog passes, the Evaluator (Pamela ) will send the combined Checklist/Video Verification Form to the dog owner. The Evaluator will also send a copy of this form to AKC.
  4. The dog owner will then send to AKC: 1) The Checklist/Video Verification 2) The Virtual Home Manners Application and a fee of $25 payable to AKC. Address and how to make the check out is on the form.

I wanted to let you know what a pleasure it has been to work with you in the dog training of our cocker spaniel. Cocker spaniels are not known for their ease of training but your taking the individual time that you took with Mrs. Beasley made all the difference and Mrs. Beasley is doing so well with her commands so much more than I ever imagined possible.
Thanks again
