SERVICES OFFERED
Training with other dogs is a great way to work on obedience with controlled distractions. I cover all forms of obedience and work towards CGC certification. I keep pack sizes no more than 8 to a trainer so you get quality training, every time.
Give your pet a one-on-one training session that caters to their specific needs. We teach every level of obedience from basic through advanced. Each session is filled with practical information and experience using effective training techniques that work best with your furry friend. Our get togethers will last one hour and will be hands on with you taking the leash.
I follow the American's with Disabilities Act when it comes to training Service Dogs. I do require a Doctors note stating that you would benefit from a Service Dog and I will ask questions about your disability in order to better train the dog to your needs.
GROUP CLASSES
Group Classes are taught at Julington Creek Animal Walk. I keep the pack small so each dog can have the attention they deserve. Each dog is encouraged to bring their mom and dad with them! We meet for an hour once a week and send each group home with homework!

WHAT IS A SERVICE DOG?
SERVICE DOGS AS DEFINED BY THE ADA
Service animals are defined as dogs or miniature horses that are individually trained to do work or perform a task(s) for people with disabilities. Each Service Dog is trained to the handler's needs. Not all dogs have what it takes to be a Service Dog. Therefore, I cannot guarantee each dog can give you everything you want. Emotional Support is not a task thus an Emotional Support Animal is not a Service Dog
