Turn Your Dog Into a Service Dog

We Handle the Training

Already have a dog with potential? Our Board & Train program allows our expert trainers to handle the most intensive parts of service dog training. No prior training required.

Limited availability

IS THIS THE RIGHT FIT FOR YOU?

This program IS a great fit if:

You already have a dog you want to work with

You want to get a specific breed of your choice

You want professional trainers to handle most of the training

You're ready to be involved during and after training

This program IS NOT a good fit if:

Your dog shows reactivity or aggression toward people or other dogs

You’re looking for a fully trained service dog without being involved in the process

Your dog struggles to stay calm or confident in new environments

You’re not able to commit to the time, consistency, and follow-through required after training

  • Alerting to medical changes (blood sugar, seizures, etc.)

  • Interrupting anxiety, panic, or repetitive behaviors

  • Providing deep pressure therapy

  • Retrieving items

  • Assisting with daily tasks

  • Guiding you safely in public environments
