Personalized Service Dog Partnerships

(2026 available)

While our online courses are in production and will begin rolling out in 2026, we continue to welcome clients into our fully raised and trained Service Dog Program.

Each dog completes over 2,000 hours of tailored training, including core obedience, public access work, and at least three ADA-qualified tasks. From puppy selection to placement and post-graduation support, we guide every step with transparency, compassion, and integrity.

💰 Investment: $45,000 + the purchase of the puppy, pet insurance for the duration of the training program and any additional specialized training requested.
