Service Dog Programs
The biggest difference between our programs are...
All of our programs are customizable so you can choose the program you want based on your preferences.
​
The biggest difference between our programs is the amount of one-on-one time together and support you get. The more time we spend together, the faster and farther along your dog will be, which will give you more freedom to do things with your dog in more situations. You also choose how much support you will need in the future for your peace of mind.
​
All our programs are private one-on-one training, allowing us to focus on you and your dog’s behavior.
The Task Dog Program
This is the program for those service dog owners who have an understanding of teaching the basics but need some help on the specialty task training.
​
During our time together, you get to decided what we teach! Everyone who is disabled is different and how you hope your service dog in the making will help you varies from person to person.
​
Not quite sure what tasks you want your dog to do? That's alright! Sometimes it's hard to figure out what will help you the most. That is why we can help you find what will help you the most.
This program is typically completed in 3 to 6 months depending on the type of tasks you need and includes:
-
Our own personal service dog test that makes sure you and your dog are ready for anything the world may throw at you
-
2 years of phone support and 4 refresher lessons in case you have any problems that might pop up later
The Service Dog Program
You have finally reached the point in your life where you are tired of surviving, you are ready to live and enjoy your life! We make sure your pup gets off on the right paw by getting them used to a variety of smells, sounds, people, and more. This way we can grow your dog’s confidence to face any obstacle that they may face.
Not only do we teach commands like “sit”, “down”, and “heel”, but we also teach commands like "tuck”, where the dog settles underneath your legs, chair, or table, so they may be out of harms way when in a restaurant. Each task is specially trained to each owner’s specific disabilities. This lets us teach your dog to task in the way that is best suited for you.
We work both at home and out in public to guarantee all of the dog’s commands are reliable in any situation. This program uses multiple different tests to assess the dog’s progress along their journey. This allows us to catch any possible issues that may arise, as well as checking their progress to see if they are ready for the next steps.
This program is typically completed in one year and includes:
-
Our own personal service dog test that makes sure you and your dog are ready for anything the world may throw at you
-
Unlimited phone support and lessons in case you run into trouble and need a little help later on
-
Includes service dog gear like a vest and patches
-
Service dog guide to help you along your journey together
