​
We select a dog based on your needs and do a 30 day in our home evaluation. We go over basic house manners, obedience and public access basics. If you are local we will arrange training and bonding sessions during this time. If the dog appears to be a good fit for you and our program, we will then move on to the next step. If the dog is not a good fit for you, we will select another dog and repeat the 30-evaluation process. We provide all the food, toys, treats, dog related equipment and veterinary care during this time.

Next Step - Service Dog Training Course
Service Dog Training Course - $1,800
Our trainers will let you know when your dog is ready to complete their Service Dog Training Course
This course includes a week full of training and learning about service dog law, public access, service task refinement, obedience, and manners. We make up complicated training scenarios and re-create real world problems we encounter, guiding you through these situations successfully. We practice and schedule your Canine Good Citizen’s Test administered by an AKC approved evaluator. Upon successful completion of this course we will provide you with a letter of ADA compliance and ID tags for both you and your dog. We require you pass this course before we grant you full public access with your service dog in training. Your dog may not be ADA compliant if you/your dog are unable to complete this course successfully, however we go above and beyond the ADA standard with our requirements for manners, obedience and the ability to complete service tasks in complicated and stressful environments.
We like to think of this Course as the beginning of your Service Dog journey, we expect changes and unexpected issues to arise once your dog is by your side 24/7. Life happens things change, and we want to provide the ongoing support you need to ensure you get the most out of your service dog.
Are we there yet?! We like to make the best teams possible so we ask for just a little more.
We recommend clients continue with monthly classes and to let us know if changes in service tasks need to be made. We recommend 18 months of follow on training with our monthly classes. If you are not near our location, we recommend you participate with our online classes and do regular video submissions of your progress.
