WHAT SERVICES WE OFFER...
We help regular pet owners to train dogs in a stress free way. That means no force, no treats, no yelling, no yanking, no shocking, no vibrating, no hurting your dog. Having a well behaved dog doesn't qualify your dog to be a service dog. Our methods are modern and clinically proven and have been used on dogs for many decades. We help clients change unwanted behavior with compassion instead of corporal punishment and shushing noises. We specialize in training owners who prefer professional help to take the guess work out of training a well behaved dog and after you have a well behaved pet those who qualify may train a pet to become a service dog so that individuals can experience:
-
Establishing a better daily routine
-
Increased feelings of confidence when out in public with their dog
-
Gain the ability to walk safely with a dog on or off leash
-
Strengthening pet bonds to enhance training outcomes
-
Initiate and maintain social connections, and more
​
Service dog clients commonly report:​
​
-
a notable decrease in anxiety,
-
reduced over-stimulation
-
elimination of panic attacks
-
reduction or elimination of hyper-vigilence, and
-
Overall heightened sense of safety with their certified service dog.
-
Feeling better at home and in public
​​
However, there are certain limitations that apply to what a service dog cannot do.
​
We acknowledge that PTSD may coexist with other disabilities, yet this should not discourage individuals from exploring the potential benefits of training your own dog. A service dog for Post Traumatic Stess (PTS) is not a therapy dog. We do not train dogs for therapeutic purposes or treatment objectives. We train dogs to reduce or relieve symptoms of PTSD, Anxiety, Hypervigilance, Flashbacks, Nightmares, and Panic attacks.
