Service Dog Training Programs

Our service dog training programs offer a variety of hands-on help. From intentional puppy-raising and socialization assistance, to task training and advanced public access, we can help you with all of it! We currently offer the following types of task training:

- Anxiety  and PTSD Interruption, Alert, and Response

- Mobility Assistance (we do not teach bracing)

- Medical Response

- Dysautonomia tasks

​

During all board and train programs, standard skills taught include:

- relaxed heel with check-ins

- settling in public

- ignoring animals, people, kids

- distraction work in a variety of environments 

- confidence building in a variety of locations

- riding in cars and on public transportation

- solid "under"command 

- how to behave in emergency situations (if this is something that you are likely to encounter with your disability/disabilities)

- being handled by other people

- preparing for air travel (if this is something you plan to do in the future)

​

During our coaching program, we will focus on proofing the above behaviors if your dog already knows them, or teaching them if your dog does not.
