Providing Guidance and Supportive Training with Love and Care!


According to the Americans with Disabilities Act  (ADA), a service dog is “a dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for a person with a disability.” 
A service dog is trained to take a specific action that helps an individual with a disability participate in daily life more fully.
The ADA considers service dogs to be primarily working animals that are not considered pets. If you qualify for a service animal (have a physical or psychological disability) and your dog passes our classes and certification exam. Then you will receive all the service animal benefits. Although service dogs must be trained for their specific duties, there are natural traits that make some dogs better candidates than others. Have your dog assessed by us today!

Some examples of  Service Dog Tasks that we can assist you with training:
​

Hearing dogs help alert deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals to important sounds.                                                                     
Mobility dogs assist individuals who use wheelchairs or walking devices or who have balance issues.                                      
Medical alert dogs might also signal the onset of a medical issue such as a seizure or low blood sugar, Or help to alert  others when a handler needs assistance, and serve many other other functions.                                           
Psychiatric service dogs assist individuals with disabilities such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, post–traumatic              stress disorder, panic attacks, and other conditions. Examples of work performed by psychiatric service dogs could include entering a dark room and turning on a light to help with a stress-inducing condition, interrupting an individual’s repetitive behaviors, providing deep pressure therapy, and reminding a person to take medication.

Therapy Dog Training

             Share the Love!                          

Do you want to give back to your community in a way that is emotionally rewarding to you and your pet?                                                                        

Let us help to prepare your pet to pass the certification process to become a Therapy Dog!
According to the Pet Partners organization, therapy dogs and other therapy animals bring comfort and joy in schools, workplaces, hospitals, or any facility they visit. They are different from service dogs in that therapy dogs and their owners work together as a team to improve the lives of other people. For the young and old, those who are sick and those who are well, and even those recovering from a crisis event, therapy animals have been proven to help. Pet therapy for seniors especially, can significantly enhance emotional well-being, and positively contribute to their social and cognitive health.

For this reason let us help you in accomplishing your Therapy Dog goals!

We can assist you with all the training and preparation for the Pet Partners Therapy Exam
