Allergy Alert Dog

This is a new area of training for me, I am currently offering a discounted rate for clients seeking this training as I build my experience.

All Service Dog Training Programs Include:

Custom task list designed to meet your individual needs.  With a minimum of 3 tasks, which can be performed inside or outside of the home.

Weekly in-person training sessions ensure you stay on track with your progress.  We keep track of homework assignments twice a month and meet on public outings 2-3 times per month. Dual training tasking as well as public access.

At completion of training, handler will pass a public access test performed by an outside evaluator, equivalent to the Canine Good Citizen Urban Test.

100% Self train model- your dog lives with you, in your home, bonding with you, as you teach them- under my guidance and direction. 

Access to your trainer anytime, Service Dogs in training get access to my personal phone number, so if a training issue or medical emergency pops up, you can reach me for help, even outside of normal business hours. 

After successful completion of public access testing we provide a diploma from service dog training school! This complies with the Texas State Law HRC 121.006 which states that a person can be charged with a misdemeanor offense if he represents an animal in public who has not undergone special training to help with a disability.
