Our service dog program involves the client in the actual training of their dog. In the case that the owner is not physically capable of being involved in the training, the owner must provide an assistant that will be involved in the day to day training and care of the dog. Our program is for people that already have a dog that they desire to train or we can assist with choosing a dog who is capable of doing the work.
Please do not inquire about training a Service Dog if you simply want to be able to take your pet dog into places that otherwise would not allow him.
