FirstBarkWe are currently in the training program with our lab/huskey mix. Michelle is proving to be awesome. She sees us at our house every 2 weeks and provides us with the teaching material and knowledge to enable us to continue to train our dog. We have had a great experience and highly recommend her to you.

When I was given the opportunity to raise this little fur ball, Dually, as a service dog I didn't know what to expect. I was nervous I would mess something up. Alaska Dog Works, Robert Forto, and Michele Forto reassured me I would do great and have been there to help me every step of the way! Dually is growing everyday and always learning new things! We have skied and climbed mountains, driven miles in the car, snuggled, walked around farmers markets, explored Lowes, learned how to be the best fishing partner, been on boat rides, learned how to swim, plus many other adventures! Dually will be an amazing service dog for Cory Stanley! Being a puppy raiser is an incredible experience knowing that Dually will go on to help someone who needs him!
More invested in their clients' and their dogs, I cannot find. Whatever you need to attain your goals with your dog, they are there to help you realize it. They take a personal relationship with every client.
Amazing trainers! Caring and compassionate! Michelle, Nicole, and Robert treat you like family! I wouldn't recommend anyone else!
Always an amazing experience. I'm a slope worker so my dog has to be boarded quite often for extended periods of time. I know that every time he gets picked up he's in the best hands. I get updates with photos that make being away so much easier. I know they treat him like a family member. I will not use anyone else to take care of my fur baby.
