Hello and Thank you for contacting Mind Your Manners Canine Training. Yes, we do train mental health dogs for various duties. Our service dog program not only fully trains your dog for that specific duty but also fully certifies the dog and trains the handler along the side of their dog.

I don't think they do. But I'm sure if they don't that they can direct you in doing so.

I got my dog service trained. I am a veteran and needed to retire my old service dog. I took my dog her to get training. Once the training was over Mancini and I discussed more hands on training with me being there and us going out in public. We had one training since I got my dog back from him. I have tried for over 6 months now to get in contact to help me with the more training we agreed on and that I’ve already paid for the service for. Every time I receive a response and Mancini states he would contact me and he never does. Initially the reason for not scheduling training was due to personal reasons but now it’s been 6 months. I have requested a refund and still no response. I’m very disappointed and dissatisfied with this device and do not recommend this facility.

We are so grateful for Shelly and Mancini, all of their support and help with our two pups has changed our lives. Our pups were pretty scared of everything and had a hard time listening. Mind your manners has completely changed that for us. Shelley and Mancini have become such an important part of our family. And we appreciate everything you do. Thank you for being such amazing trainers. ❤️🙏

I have a fearful dog and was terrified to board him. I was reassured they would be able to work with him and they did! I would say he came back more tolerate of other dogs! I will be working with them again, and I have comfort knowing my boy is well cared for while we're away.
