Probationary Period Overview

During your probationary period as a Candidate Member, you will demonstrate to SARDOC that you have the basic skills and dedication to be a full voting SARDOC member and continue your (and your dog’s) training towards operational status.

The probationary period is expected to last 6–18 months. If you need significantly longer to complete the requirements for voting membership, contact the Standards Committee.

During your Probationary Period:
□ Review the SARDOC Voting Membership Request form. This is the list of tasks you will be expected to complete, and skills you will be evaluated on, during your probationary period. Print a copy and track your progress.
□ Review the requirements for Support Certification. Practice these skills during the probationary period so you can earn Support Certification soon after becoming a voting member.
□ Read the SARDOC Bylaws, SARDOC Standards, SARDOC Policies, Progression Evaluations, and the Task Books. Ask questions if anything isn’t clear.
□ Train with your dog! Use available resources such as scheduled regional trainings, SARDOC weekends, focus days, informal/weekday trainings, task books, progression evaluations, books, and seminars.
□ Help your teammates in their training.
□ At the end of your probationary period, complete the SARDOC Voting Membership Request (Google Form or download) and send it to your Area Director. The Standards Committee will recommend approval/decline to the Executive Board, who will vote.
