I Think I Need A Service Dog... Now What?!?
So you have found yourself looking for additional treatments when therapy, medication, etc aren't enough. You are wondering if you qualify for a service dog, if your family will be supportive, or if your doctor will agree that it is a needed addition to your treatment plan. You may also be wondering if a service dog may be able to help you; You have no idea where to start and you're worried that you may not be able to afford or handle the extra attention that a service dog brings to you. Well, it isn't a cookie cutter answer but we are here to help!
To the right you will find some links on service dog laws as a place to start learning. We also recommend you message or email with us and if you are close enough come out on an outing with us. We also arrange meet & greets with some of our former/current clients so they can share their experiences to help you gauge the good, bad, and hardships.
We provide services to help find breeders, litters, and temperament test puppies for service work. We also will take in rehome dogs occasionally that are good candidates for service work and will match them with clients and then help them to train them. We also offer fully trained dogs and started service dogs on top of our owner-trained program.

Fully Trained Program Dogs
Our program dogs are fully customizable to your needs. We specialize in multi-purpose service dogs. We have handlers come up with two lists a "must have" & an "ideal" task list. There are two routes for our fully trained programs: our raise & train dogs, as well as, our acquire & train.
The raise & train program is typically dogs that we bring in at 8 weeks old & sometimes between 12 & 18 months we match them with a handler & then finish
out their training tailored to fit their handlers needs.
Our acquire & train is similar as we bring in puppies around 8 weeks old. The difference is we pick out a puppy specifically for their intended handler in mind.
We then raise & train them specifically for their handler. We do have
contingencies in our contracts just incase in the long run the dog doesn't end up making a good fit but the handler still ends up with a fully trained dog for the
same total cost.
Our fully trained program dogs run $30,000-$35,000. This includes lifetime
training, all necessary working gear including: leash, tools (collar, martingale,
prong, headcollar, etc.), program vest, mobility harness (if a mobility dog), boots,
rain gear, cool coat, etc. They also come with emergency crate bags, name bags,
& more. We do offer payment plans over 2-3 years after an initial program deposit.
