When my wife said we were going to train a dog to identify allergens in food for our kids i thought she was insane. As we did our research and got our pup, it became clear that it was going to be a huge job to train him and a huge challenge to find the right training situation! Then, she found Keisha and Valerie at Service Dog Team Academy. They are local, they are effective, friendly and love all of their clients! It has been great to see the progress our dog has made since starting with them! We did a 2 week board and train (which we would recommended to everyone!) and our dog just passed his Canine Good Citizen test! Next up is specialized training for his skill and service dog work! Our dog Jasper loves them and loves working! We are thrilled we found them!

Keisha, Valerie and Bailey helped my bird dog become a service dog in only two weeks of training! My pup Bolo was set up with Bailey for two weeks and I couldn’t be happier with her knowledge and professionalism! She listened to and addressed any, if not all of my concerns and did not fail to deliver! They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks…well this team of women can and will. He’s more patient with feeding times and his skills and reaction times are sharper. They’ll treat your pup like one of their own, highly recommended Service Dog Team Academy!
Thank you so much, for not only getting my son the perfect dog! But also become exactly what we were looking for in a service dog! All the employees I had interactions with were absolutely amazing! Very wonderful people and amazing skills! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
