Our service dog training packages are tailored to equip your dog with the necessary skills to assist you effectively. From basic obedience commands like Heel, Sit, Stay, Down, and Come to specialized tasks, our programs ensure your service dog is reliable and capable in any situation.
Trainer Approval for Custom Trainings
To ensure the best outcomes, participation in our Service Dog Training program requires prior approval from one of our trainers. This step ensures that your dog is ready for the specialized training and can benefit fully from the program.

We provide training for a variety of service dogs, including:
Medical Alerts: Trained to detect and alert handlers to medical conditions such as diabetes or severe allergies.

Specialized Training Focus
Our training programs go beyond basic obedience and include:
Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Test: Our service dogs undergo the CGC test to ensure they exhibit good manners at home and in the community. This test covers ten essential skills that every well-mannered dog should know.
TSA Trainings: We provide our service dogs with the opportunity to practice going through airport security scenarios. This real-world training ensures your service dog is comfortable and well-behaved in high-stress environments like airports.
Great for Dogs from Various Backgrounds
