Your Service Dog. Trained by You.
Mobility, medical response, and psychiatric assistance — taught by two trainers with thirteen years in service dogs, one of whom lives with hers.
Why we stopped placing dogs
We used to raise and place fully trained service dogs. We still could. But we came to believe something that made it hard to keep doing: you should have first dibs on your dog's friendship and trust — not a stranger.
A placement program hands you a finished dog and a bill. Owner-training hands you a partnership you built yourself, with a dog who learned to read you from the beginning.
What it actually costs, honestly
Fully trained service dogs run $30,000–$50,000 and up from placement programs, with waitlists measured in years. Owner-training with us is $249 to start — a one-hour evaluation plus your first month — then $149 a month, cancel anytime.
And what it actually takes
Eighteen to twenty-four months of consistent work. We're not going to pretend otherwise. Some dogs turn out not to be suited to the job, and we'll tell you that honestly too — early, while it still costs you nothing but a conversation.
What you get in exchange: the Working Dog Vault, public access preparation, task training built around your life, a monthly live session with Kendall, and two people who have done this for thirteen years in your corner the whole way.
Start with an evaluation.
Sixty minutes, in person or online. We'll assess your dog honestly, answer your questions, and map the path — or tell you plainly if this isn't the right dog for the job.
