If you are committed to selecting and training the right dog to become a canine assistant for you or your family member, we will help succeed. We will support and empower you -- every step of the way. We offer service dog expertise to three populations:

- People with disabilities (or their family) who already own a dog they want to train

g for the right dog to train

We help people find and train these types of service dogs

- Mobility (especially wheelchair users)
- Psychiatric service dogs (especially anxiety disorders, including PTSD, social anxiety, Asperger's/autism)

We also have worked with people with other types of disabilities, including traumatic brain injury, deaf and hard-of-hearing, and chronic pain and illness, among others. We do not train diabetic alert dogs or guide dogs for blind or low-vision individuals. We train dogs at any stage of the process:
- Consultations for puppies to set training plans

Loki's family is training him as a service dog for a family member. They're doing a fantastic job with his training! We're so proud of this team! Fortunately, they also have a sense of humor! 😁😆😍

Our cobberdog, Loki knows this trick, but he refuses to do it. The reward has to be really high value to get him to do this dog trick. If you like this cont...

Scenes from our recent Advanced Public Access Course. This training field trip took place at Whole Foods Market in Newton, MA. It was a crowded environment. I am so proud of all of these teams. All the dogs and handlers did beautifully! Also, thanks to the store manager and staff who were so pleasant and accommodating.

Help your veterinarian to provide the best care to your service dog!

We love our veterinarians and their staff, who work so hard to keep our service dogs healthy. However, veterinarians are not usually experts on service animals or life with a disability. This means communication about a service dog's unique care needs is critical to get the best outcome for all conc...

It’s always better to try to prevent this, but it happens to all dog owners, one time or another. And some dogs are more prone to digesting inedible things. Useful tips for what to do when this happens.

Dogs like to eat, and if your dog ate a sock or some other foreign object you will need to figure out what it is and what to do about it.

This may seem obvious, but a key component is to clean and refill the water bowls at least once a day. And to have at le...

This may seem obvious, but a key component is to clean and refill the water bowls at least once a day. And to have at least one water bowl per dog out. If you have multiple dogs or in hot weather, it’s especially important. I can’t count the number of times I have been at a client’s or friend’s house and seen that the water bowl is empty. I keep water bowls in all the rooms the dogs frequent. I use water pails in my dog’s crates so they can have a drink at night, too! https://www.whole-dog-journal.com/health/what-is-a-good-remedy-for-a-dog-with-dry-skin/

A dog's dry skin can cause itching and even cracking and bleeding. The solution is simple changing soap or even just substituting brushing for some baths.

If you’re doing a lot of training with your dog — for example, if you’re training your service dog — most of these “toppers” actually make great, high-value treats! Don’t put them in the bowl. Use them to zazz up your next training session! https://www.whole-dog-journal.com/food/10-healthy-dog-food-additives/
