Central Florida Service Dog Trainers
Service Animal Training
Train your dog to become your tasking champion!
Whether it be mobility help, medical alert for seizures or diabetes, or DPT (Direct Pressure Therapy) work for PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) and other mental-health issues, we are fully capable of helping your dog learn the needed techniques to become a registered therapy or service dog.
Let’s face it, we’d all love to have our dogs around us at all times, right? Well, if you have any disability and you need your dog to perform at his or her highest level of training, then this is the program for you and your furry pal. Disabilities that require your dog’s assistance, whether it be retrieving objects or providing emotional companionship, are just a few of the types of service training that we do. However, not all dogs are capable of providing specific needs. Some dogs are bred specifically for these "jobs" and that’s why we say not all dogs are capable of service oriented training. We can evaluate your needs with your dog’s potential within one visit.

Service Animal Training
$TBD
Starting at two sessions per week MINIMUM.
If you do not currently have a dog, it is advisable to select a candidate puppy from a reputable breeder who breeds canines for the service industry. The parents of these dogs are shown to be of high quality and trainability so that their offspring are more likely to be service dog candidates. The cost of buying a puppy (between $2,000 and $4,000) may be higher than the fees for adopting a rescue dog (between $250 and $500). However, finding the right rescue dog is a challenge as you are unfamiliar with its history and potentially bad behavior.
If you already have a beloved furry friend as a pet and intend to train it to be a service dog, you should first do a character test to see whether your pup is a great service dog candidate. Usually, it can be completed in one session and costs between $150 and $275. The test results might show that due to certain unfortunate experiences or lack of training during puppyhood, it is not recommended to train your pup to be a service animal.
