The Amazing Service Dog!
Service Dog training is some of the most spectacular and difficult training in the canine world. It takes many years of dedication and patience to produce quality Service Dogs. We often take ‘throw away’ dogs that people don’t want or can’t handle and turn them into some of the most amazing dogs in the world!

All of our Service Dog candidates have come from rescues, shelters, or directly from rescue situations. To date we have not purchased or bred any dogs for service work. This is a win win situation, being able to save a dog that would most likely have been destroyed, training him, and being able to place him with a disabled person.

Service Dogs have the right, set out by our federal government, to go almost anywhere their handlers go. Service Dogs are not considered pets, they are considered to be ‘Service Animals’.

For more information on the rights of access of Service Dogs, feel free to call us and ask any questions you might have.

Training:
The training that goes into a Service Dog is quite extensive. Many trainers claim to know how, but few are producing the results needed to qualify the dog as a Service Dog. It is most important to gain a very high level of reliability in the command to response ratio of the finished Service Dog. You will notice in one of our videos the dog I am handling will retrieve the Quad Cane many times in repetition. This is one of the key elements to the training process, making sure the dog will be extremely reliable when commanded to perform a physical task. Because in this moment the handler is in need of a Service Dog that will truly be ready, willing, and able to perform.

Transition:
The transition of placing the Service Dog with the new owner can be a little tricky. However, a well trained dog will be able to make the transition. We do take time to make sure the dog is compatible with the handler but we don’t waste time in this area. Typically, within a few weeks to a few months the two are working like clock work. The dog begins to hone in on the handler and his needs. It’s an amazing thing to see and is very gratifying for us as trainers. Watch my video below of Tiko & Edison as I describe such a spectacular relationship that developed outside of the realm of the training.

The dogs:
All of our dogs are from shelters or rescue situations. Therefore, it’s a win win situation saving a dog’s life and placing him with a disabled person who is in need. Most of our dogs are Labrador Retrievers or Golden Retrievers. Although, from time to time we will use a mixed breed, if the dog shows a high level of aptitude. Our dogs are put through many different tests to evaluate the dog’s ability to handle stress and to function in many different contexts.

Your dog:
We are open to training your dog, however, we will have to discuss many points before taking on the task. There are many areas of the training that people do not understand. We have to assess each dog and handler situation and evaluate the client’s expectations vs. the feasibility of the dog’s aptitude for training. Unfortunately, many people think they have a legitimate Service Dog, but the reality is that most people that have not worked with an experienced trainer that specializes in training Service Dogs, do not have legitimate Services Dogs. This does not mean that the dog cannot qualify with the correct training. If you have a Service Dog and you are not sure if he qualifies or you have any questions about training, please feel free to call us and ask any questions you might have.

Pricing:
Our Service Dogs start at $15,000 and go up depending on the amount and difficulty of the tasks you are needing from the dog. Service Dogs can be trained to perform many complex tasks. However, most people are simply looking for a few simple tasks. Keep in mind, in order for a dog to qualify as a Service Dog, giving him full access to almost all places his handler goes, he must perform physical tasks that relate to the handler’s disabilities. It is best to call us so that we can get an understanding of your expectations and discuss what it is that would most likely work best for you.
Note: We also offer foundation trained service dogs at a reduced price. These dogs have obedience training and a foundation for service dog qualification, but still need training to fit the handler’s specific needs. This is a great opportunity for people that can’t afford a fully trained service dog, or/and would like to be a part of the training process. These dogs typically sell for about $5,000.

Waiting Lists:
There is no waiting list with us. It is simply a matter of finding the right dog for you and training him. In some cases, we will have a trained service dog ready for placement. However, if we do not, it will typically take 3 to 6 months. During this time it is possible to visit your dog to see what the training process is, to begin to understand giving commands, and obviously to bond with your dog. It is also good for us to understand what your disabilities are and to see what you are capable of doing physically. This information will help us to adjust our training to meet your needs. Once the training is finished, we usually send the dog home with you for a couple weeks. After this time spent with you, we usually bring the dog back to adjust some of the training, again to make sure the dog is going to work correctly for you and to make sure the training fits your needs. It is VERY important to us to make absolutely sure the dogs are placed at the right time and to make sure the dog is working for you correctly.

The Perfect Dog:
A service dog almost has to be a ‘Perfect Dog’! Some might argue that he has to be better than a perfect dog. The reality is that all dogs have issues of some sort, some worse than others, but every dog will have an issue with something. We do our best to pick dogs that will be as close to perfect as possible, but in some cases, it just can’t be avoided. The client we work with will have to be patient and understanding in the process. If you want a dog now, cannot wait, cannot be flexible, or cannot be patient, then we are not the right trainers for you.
