Looking for a great dog or puppy? Want to adopt a Therapy Dog? We regularly pre-select dogs, based on a seris of aptitude & good-temperament tests, from the Humane Societies, shelters and rescue organizations as potential Service Dogs for disabled adults and children. If a dog that we select or rescue is not matched up with a disabled person to be a Service Dog, then we make them available to the general public for adoption as Therapy Dogs or family companions.

If you already have your eye on a dog at shelter or puppy litter, we can help you pick the right dog for your family. Not all puppies grow up to be friendly - we know how to tell the difference.

Obedience and Leadership Training (All levels welcome)
We offer private and group lessons. Wouldn't you like to have your dog come when called, walk on a loose leash, and always have good manners? Our easy-to-follow Leadership Training can help you have a more successful relationship with your dog.

Therapy Dog Training (All levels welcome)
We offer private and group lessons. We incorporate therapy work skills into our regular class program. Our goal is for all of you to participate in therapy work at some point with your well behaved, well socialized and friendly dogs.

Aggression Rehabilitation Training Can you get your hands in your dog's food bowl, take away a bone, examine & groom your dog peacefully, trust your dog around kids & other dogs? If you anwered "no" to any of these, then your dog is likely to become (or already is) dangerous during its lifetime. We can help get your dog back on track. Our behavior modfication program is easy to learn and long lasting. Aggression is like an addiction; it can be successfully managed, but management is a lifelong commitment.

All dogs are a product of their genetics and their environment. Dogs are not at fault for their aggression issues. Medical issues, irresponsible breeding, lack of socialization, and irresponsible dog ownership can all be contributing factors to aggression.

If you have a dog with aggression issues, contact us or find another behaviorist (one that does not use prong collars, pinch collars, shock collars or choke chains, as this makes aggression worse) in your area that deals with aggression issues, and work with them to train your dog. If you are unable or unwilling to do this, you are taking a big risk.

If you are not willing to take the risk yourself, do the right thing for you best friend and give him the peace and rest he deserves by euthanizing him. Please, do not pass this issue on to someone else so they can lose their home due to loss of homeowners insurance or have to live with the death or mutilation of a child or family member or friend because you, the owner of the aggressive dog did not make the right and humane choice of euthanasia.

We believe that it is unethical for any organization to place dangerous dogs. If you are committed to keeping and rehibilating your dog, we will gladly work with you in our training program. However, if you do not wish to keep your aggressive dog, please do the right thing and euthanize him.
