Our programs are vastly different than most in the industry today.
Our service dogs are not trained in large programs that pair them with handlers randomly Each dog is individually selected and trained to meet the exact needs required by their new handlers. Upon completion of training the dogs are delivered to their new home, where our trainers will teach you how to work with and care for your new dog. We show you how to work side by side with your new service dog at your home, school or place of work.
​
Unlike many programs offering service dogs We offer an evaluation for dogs under 3 years old already in the home as well as puppy/dog selection from a breeder or rescue. We also transfer full ownership of the dog to you. We do not retain rights to the dog and they become your faithful companion for life. There are not restrictions on the type of food you choose or which veterinarian you select to work with your new partner. All of the dogs that we offer are spayed or neutered prior to delivery.
We also train a variety of breeds and sizes to ensure the best match for our clients. Over the years, we have worked with Shepherds, Schnauzers, Pitbull Terriers, Labrador and Golden Retrievers, Poodles and Poodle mixes as well as other many other breeds upon request. We carefully cater each dog to the specific needs of every individual.
Unlike other providers, we have no restrictions regarding the age of the client and each application is viewed on a case-by-case basis.
There are no application fees and you only pay once you decide to use us for your next service dog.
Each dog in our program receives countless hours of training and socialization. All of our service dogs are trained in a variety of new environments and situations to ensure that they are able to perform reliably in stressful environments and challenging situations. We customize the training of each dog to meet the needs of their new handler.
We have trained countless service dogs for people of all ages and are confident that we can provide you with the right dog. We believe so much in our training processes and service dog development programs that we guarantee training for the life of the dog!
Affordability
Our service dogs and training are extremely affordable. We offer a financing which allows you the opportunity to budget for a service dog without requiring that you pay all of the costs up front. We do not have expensive puppy programs, therefore we are able to offer clients well trained service dogs at much lower prices than the industry standard. ​
At this time we do not operate as a non-profit organization. However, many of our clients conduct fundraising to pay for the cost of the dog and delivery. If you need help coming up with ways to raise money for a service dog, we will be happy to share ways that other clients have been successful.
The price of our service dogs includes the initial set of customized equipment including a collar, a leash, a service vest or harness, service dog identification and much more. Additionally, our Autism Assistance Dogs include tethering equipment and trailing equipment.
Unlike many other programs, we have a comparatively short waiting list. Upon delivery one of our expert trainers will deliver your new dog to your home. Delivery generally lasts for 4-5 days depending on the need of the client. During the delivery, we request that adult family members are available for the duration of the turnover so that each person receives the appropriate training, which helps everyone stay consistent with your new service dog. Home delivery and participation from the family affords everyone the opportunity to see the service dog perform in the environment where it will live and work everyday as opposed to a training facility. We will also teach you how to mitigate through everyday life with your service dog outside the home.
For each service dog delivery, you and your family will learn how to work side by side with your new dog at home, in malls, at school, in medical offices and place of employment to ensure that you are comfortable in working with the dog everywhere. You will also learn how to maintain your dog's training and how to deal with different situations or access issues. We have placed dogs throughout the United States and we offer delivery services worldwide. No training costs are associated with the delivery, however delivery travel costs are additional.
