Service Dogs Ky, PTSD Service Dog, Autism Service Dog, Mobility Service Dog, Rape Service Dog, Positive Dog Training Kentucky, Therapy Dog Training, 

We are happy to have several prison dog training programs for service dogs and other training.  This program, like all our programs is based on positive training methods.  Our partnership with the prison programs are all located in Kentucky. This will not only help us with training of service dogs and therapy dogs, but it will help the participants in the program learn skills that will enable them to get jobs in their community once they are released.  So this follows along with the principle we have always had - "Helping Dogs, Help People".  

​

Currently at our state program, we have 7, 2-man teams of handlers working in the program, for a total of 14 handlers.  Each team has one dog to train.  This gets the dogs more exposure to more situations and helps generalize their skills to more than one person.  These dogs will be trained to do different jobs based on each dog's abilities.  As the dogs go through the program, they will be evaluated to determine their specific job skills and when ready, we will begin training the task work with them.  

​

Any dog that does not meet service dog guidelines will be placed up for adoption. The adoption fee will go directly back into the prison training program to help us continue to offer this partnership. They will make wonderful pets, therapy dogs or emotional support dogs.
