Service Dog Training

 

I only accept clients for this service when their needs match my skill set. Pricing is individualized depending on the needs of the client.

Training for service dogs usually involves a combination of family coaching and board and train services. I am also happy to assess if your dog is appropriate for service dog work.

Please be aware that there are lots of scams in the service dog industry. Resources are available so you can be aware of the actual government regulations regarding service animals:

Pop-In Visits
