Service Dogs 

A service Dog is paired with a person with visual impairment, seizure disorder, hearing loss, mobility challenges, diabetes, and/or other physical or psychiatric conditions.

Service dogs participate in strict training that enables them to help their owners function on a daily basis, including completing tasks and alerting them to potential oncoming emotional or physical episodes.

In order to be considered a service animal, task training and public access testing must be completed.

We will complete all the training, including the public access and other skills tests, either through our board and train program or as an owner-assisted.

CIRT Dogs

Critical Incident K9 these dogs work for an agency and often have the title of Critical Incident Response K9, Victim Advocate K9, Court K9, or other mental health/peer support K9.

They are used to support the mental health of agencies and work with victims of violent crimes and CISM (Critical Incident Stress Management) and Peer Support Teams.
 Only handlers and K9's that work for an agency will be allowed to complete this training

We offer a National Critical Incident Response K9 Certification from the Alliance For Emergency Response Instructors and Examiners (AERIE).

ESAs, Companion, and Therapy dogs

An emotional support dog gives affection, companionship, and comfort to an owner suffering from a diagnosed mental, emotional, or psychological condition.

An ESA does not perform specific tasks but serves as a support system in everyday life and challenging situations.

Through their companionship, they can help their owners live happier, healthier lives and overcome the challenges of their specific condition.

A therapy dog gives comfort and joy like an emotional support animal.

However, therapy dogs generally work with large groups of people rather than a specific owner, visiting facilities such as hospitals, schools, and elderly care facilities under the care of a handler.
