Training Service Dogs to Transform Lives at DogTown K9 Training

At Dogtown K9 Training in Gardnerville, Nevada, we focus on developing highly trained service dogs, like Bo, who are learning essential tasks to assist their handlers. One of Bo’s latest achievements is retrieving keys, a skill that can be life-changing for someone with mobility challenges.

Service dog training is a patient, step-by-step process that builds on trust and positive reinforcement. Each task, like key retrieval, is broken down into manageable steps, starting with basic hold commands and progressing to object recognition and retrieval. By gradually increasing complexity, dogs like Bo gain confidence and reliability in their roles.

Service dogs are more than pets, they’re partners in independence. We’re proud to train dogs that open doors to greater freedom for their handlers. Follow Bo’s journey as he continues to master his training!

4. Socialization: Interacting with trainers and other dogs in a controlled environment helps improve social skills and reduces anxiety or aggression towards unfamiliar situations or animals.
