Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
What is the best breed of dog to have for a service dog. Also do you train them or will we be training g them
Good question, there is no one breed that is best, the dogs selected are based on the disability they will be assisting with. We offer both a cooperative program where the dog lives with you and a board and train program where the dog stays with us.

Great organization and a lot of fun to do training with. They understand the needs of the individual with their companions. Marie is fantastic and I would recommend everyone looking get a service dog to go through them.
Absolutely the best dog trainers around.
Met with Maria regarding what they do as part of my role on a disabilities council. I was extremely impressed! They know their stuff. I learned a lot. The facility is really cool. They were generous with their time and information. Albuquerque is lucky to have such a world class facility.
I have two dogs, both require daily medication, one with behavioral issues, and I wouldn’t be able to leave them with just anybody! At the Academy, I know they both got their medication promptly at 8am, that they had lots of fun with enrichment games, and they got to hang out with their favorite trainers. I had a relaxing vacation knowing they were in good hands.
