We have raised and trained service dogs for mobility, psych’ hearing and alert for 8 years. We follow what we learned from our mentors and education. Service Dogs are not obedience trained. They are trained to understand intelligent disobedience, meaning, they put work before obedience. They are also taught to solve problems, handle stress, and enjoy their work.
Everyone involved has a foundation in coaching and counselling making this a safe environment for everyone.
Our ‘end game’ is not to rush you through the Public Access Test as fast as possible but give your dog the skills to enjoy their work. We don’t want to hear any of our students state that their dog ‘burned out’, ‘stopped working’, or ‘wouldn’t go certain places.
Service Dog Work should not be stressful for the dog. We prepare your dog for ‘the job’, ‘the stress’, and the problems faced in the life of a service dog.
You will be taught how to handle every situation.
Our programs are designed to put the dog’s wellness, and your peace of mind first. After all, you do not want a dog you need to micromanage in a crowd. You want a dog that understands ‘active heeling’ and doesn’t need leash control or multiple commands.
Why choose UsWe work 1;1 with all our clients and in small groups, never more than 6 people so you and your dog receive the attention you need. Whether you are attending classes in the Cambridge or London Area, or you are too far away and choose Online coaching, or our online self-study courses. We also include weekly video chats to teach training techniques to speed up your training, how ’emotions’ effect a dog’s performance, and training your dog to be reliable.
Your Dog will work side by side with our dogs learning the difference between ‘focus’ and ‘disinterest’ when in public, ‘stay’ and ‘resting’, and heeling and ‘active heeling’. We will work through each stage until your dog is confidently working with you, without needing constant managing.
We will help you with every level of your Service Dog’s Development. Puppy Mental Development, Socializing, Crazy Adolescence, and young adult work. Each of these stages can alter training, and change how your dog handles situations. It doesn’t mean your dog is unsuitable. It means your dog is growing up.
