The service dog tutor provides private training of clients’ dogs for service work and therapy dog work. I use reward-based training and games during instruction. I retired from dog training in May 2021; and I’m only working with advanced service dog students at this time. I offer public access training and testing as well as consultations for new dog owners. My service dog clients are using their dogs for assistance in dealing with mobility issues and for dealing with chronic diseases and pain. I also provide consultations for clients who are seeking the right dog to add to their household whether it is for service work or just a family pet. I do not board for dogs for training nor do I provide dogs for service work.
