Obedience & Manners

Service dogs are trained to a high level of responsiveness in all sorts of environments. We teach advanced obedience skills in the environments you'll need them most. Obedience skills can also be the foundation to future tasks, for example, targeting is used to build many tasks.

Public Access Training

Public access training is one of the key components to service dog training, once they have completed their training, they should be able to use their skills in any new environment with minimal support. During public access training service dogs learn to relax & even sleep in busy public places, take public transportation, ignore distractions like dogs and children, perform needed tasks, and more.

Task Training

During task training, your dog learns how to perform necessary tasks to mitigate your disability. These tasks are custom to the handler, and may be from one or more categories: mobility, medical response, & psychiatric.
