Our Core Training Programs
AKC Canine Good Citizen Certification
Our team will guide you and your dog through the AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) program, helping you earn this respected certification while improving your dog’s manners in public.
PTSD Service Dogs
PTSD service dogs are specially trained to support individuals living with post-traumatic stress disorder. These dogs provide comfort, reduce anxiety, interrupt nightmares, and create a sense of safety in public settings. Through customized training, they can recognize signs of distress and perform tasks that help their handler regain independence and confidence in daily life.
MST (Military Sexual Trauma) Service Dogs
MST service dogs are trained to assist veterans and service members coping with the effects of military sexual trauma. These highly skilled dogs provide emotional support, reduce anxiety, and create a sense of safety and stability. By performing specialized tasks—such as grounding during flashbacks, creating physical space in crowds, and offering comfort during stressful situations—they empower survivors to regain confidence and improve quality of life.
