Dog Programs
Service Dog Training
Our service dog training program is designed for dogs that have been approved as suitable candidates for service work. This specialized program focuses on task-based training to meet the specific needs of individuals requiring assistance. Key tasks may include deep pressure therapy for psychiatric support, blood sugar alert for those with diabetes, and mobility assistance to aid with balance or retrieving items.
Each dog undergoes a personalized training plan tailored to develop these essential skills. We emphasize reliability and precision in task performance, ensuring the dog can provide consistent support in real-world situations. The program includes all necessary training tools and ongoing support, helping maintain and refine your dog’s abilities.
Training a service dog is about empowering both the dog and their handler, creating a partnership that enhances daily living and independence. This program is ideal for those needing a highly trained service animal capable of performing specific, life-enhancing tasks with confidence and accuracy.
Therapy Dog Training
Our therapy dog training program is designed to prepare both the dog and handler for successful certification. This program focuses on developing the specific skills and temperament required for therapy work, ensuring your dog is well-mannered, calm, and confident in various environments.
Training includes tasks such as politely greeting strangers, staying relaxed in busy or noisy settings, and providing comfort through gentle interaction. We also work closely with the handler, teaching techniques to effectively guide and support the dog during therapy visits. The program provides all necessary training tools.
This program is perfect for those who want to share the joy and comfort of their dog with others in hospitals, schools, or nursing homes. By preparing for certification, you and your dog will be ready to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those in need of a friendly, comforting presence.
