What 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.

Being trained by Briaun was great. I had two other service dog companies tell me that they couldn't train my Maltese poodle mix because she was wither too small or was too afraid of other dogs. Briaun accommodated both my busy schedule and my dog's issues. They were great about helping me find time to train my dog, and making me feel like I mattered enough to get my dog trained. They were a huge help, and did an amazing job at training my dog.

Working with my service dog and these trainers has quite literally changed my life. My service dog is incredible and has already helped me extensively despite not being finished with his training. Briaun (the lead trainer) found me a dog that was perfectly suited to my needs and wants. Training has been professional and outstanding the entire time, even through Covid. She is always available and ready to help should I have any questions regarding service dogs and my rights as a service dog owner. Overall, this business and their trainers are incredible. I am greatly indebted to them for all the good they have given me through my service dog and his training.

I got a new puppy and needed some major help. I tried their online training program since I live in Colorado and travel a lot. REAL, LIVE, customized training, It's AMAZING!!! Not just some pre-made canned video download or packed generic group class. So happy I found this place.

Had a great experience with The Academy of Canine Excellence. The staff was professional, knowledgeable and gave me great guidance for ongoing training tips. I will definitely bring any more pups we add to the family to them.
