Service Dog Classes
Medical Alert Program
Dogs lives by the nose.
Medical Detection and Alert Dogs use their incredible noses to sense bio-chemical changes in your body. Every change has an attached smell. If we can isolate that smell, we can train your dog to detect it, alert you to its presence and help you reduce the effects of whatever condition is causing it.
Hearing Assistance Program
Through sound awareness and companionship, these dogs provide greatly increased freedom.
Hearing dogs are trained to alert their owners to common sounds like doorbells, oven timers, smoke alarms, telephones, babies’ cries, or alarm clocks. Hearing dogs make physical contact with their masters, nudging or pawing them to get their attention. Most are trained to lead their handlers toward the source of a sound.
Psychiatric
Not an Emotional Support Animal. Psychiatric Assistance dogs are trained like all other types of service dogs.
A psychiatric Service Dog is simply a service dog for a person with a psychiatric impairment, like Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). These dogs are individually trained in obedience, performing tasks, and working in distracting public environments to mitigate their handler's psychiatric disability.
Mobility and Assistance
Mobility assistance dogs perform a variety of tasks for their handler.
Mobility assistance dog tasks are infinite. Each service dog performs actions it’s trained for. If you have a daily routine, your dog will learn what you need and may even look to you for their next task before you even give it. Typical daily tasks play a huge role in both the handler’s, and the dog’s lives, and these tasks can become routine. In most cases, environmental cues will inform the dog what is needed, but with mobility assistance, many of the tasks must be cued by the handler.
