The Client and Handler’s Advocate will begin creating a PIF plan with them, based on their abilities and interests, as soon as a Client or Handler is accepted into our program. We recommend that Clients and Handlers follow the advice of their Advocate and begin right away, so that they can meet the following timeline: • $5,000: Raised and/or “non-cash” credit after Bump and prior to attending Seminar. • $10,000: Raised and/or “non-cash” credit prior to Graduation (passing the final Public Access Test for Assistance Dogs or final Facility Observation Test for Facility Dogs). A Client or Handler who has not met their PIF 1 Goal by Graduation is expected to have a set, ongoing PIF plan in concert with their Advocate. Each Client and Handler will continue to be assessed on their PIF efforts throughout placement; and continued efforts are expected until the PIF Goal 1 is reached.
