Service dogs: born ready, or built together?

Ever heard someone say, “Service dogs are just born with it”? 🤔 Here’s the truth: every service dog candidate needs expert training, dedicated teamwork, and tons of practice—no magic switch at birth! Even the best dogs need guidance to become reliable partners for their people.

Curious about what really goes into training a service dog—or wondering if your own pup could make the cut? Our team guides you every step of the way, with proven methods and real results.

Beautiful Bella showing off her calm and focus during a training outing on Wednesday 💛

While her handler tried on shoes, Bella practiced maintaining a relaxed down — an important skill for service dogs learning to stay settled in busy public environments.

Great job, Bella! 🌟
