ABOUT 1-on-1
OUR
PHILOSOPHY
Each service dog we train not only acquires the needed skills to support their client, each dog is loved and cared for beyond what one might expect. Our service dogs are cared for by one trainer 24/7. Every action we take, every suggestion, praise or command comes with an exact purpose to assist the dog in their development.
On the average, each service dog we train practice their skills in the field over 100 times at locations where their client may go. Trains, airport, college campuses, grocery stores, gas stations, parks, private residences, extended auto trips, hotels, and more. All of the time we are working to desensitize the service dog to distractions, distractions that if not addressed, may take our dogs off focus while working.
We offer a combination Bond-Based Training, positive reward and praise, command-based learning environment. Our dogs work relaxed, confident and ready to assist their client to lead the most productive life possible.
