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.

I am a Service dog owner who has interacted with Maria both socially and in the context of her work as a dog trainer. I am happy to say that the dogs that I've seen her work with are some of the best service dogs I've seen. They're diligent workers, but they're all such sweet dogs, too! She seems to find the way to bring out the best in each dog she works with.
Seeing my good girl and whichever dog she's working with occasionally glance at each other as if to say "I really want to play, but my job is important," and then stay perfectly on task, is a beautiful testament to Maria's quality as a trainer. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

The trainers know exactly what they’re doing and how to get exactly what you need for your service dog. They helped me train my dog Lightning, now she is capable of going anywhere and doing anything. And I believe there’s never about a dog trainers in the state.

Great experience. Great trainers, especially Maria but entered staff stayed involved with our training needs. Worked well with me on scheduling lessons both individual and group. I rate them 10 out of 10 and would recommend them without reservation.

Have you ever had no idea how to get your dog under control? These guys are amazing. Every time my dogs are near them I see improvement. I can't say enough about their insight into dog (and handler) training
