Service dogs are trained to assist individuals with various needs, from mobility and balance to medical alerts and seizure response. They're an essential companion for many, and their training is a crucial aspect of their role.
A well-trained service dog can perform tasks such as opening doors, picking up items, and providing physical support. This training is tailored to the individual's specific needs and requirements.

Service Dog Training
Service dog training is a complex process that requires patience, repetition, and positive reinforcement. Our expert trainers at All Dawgs use gentle and respectful methods to teach your dog the necessary skills.
To enroll in a service dog training program, your dog must first be proficient in basic obedience commands like sit, down, stay, come when called, and walking on a loose leash. This is a crucial foundation for more advanced training.
Our training programs are tailored to meet your specific needs, whether it's anxiety management, balance assistance, or retrieving objects. We also teach proper public behavior and adaptability.
Dogs aged 1-5 years tend to get the best results from our training program. This is because they're still young and receptive to new experiences and learning.
At All Dawgs, we follow strict guidelines set by the International Association of Assistance Dog Partners (IAADP) to ensure each dog receives thorough training. This includes at least 120 hours of training over six months, including 30 hours in public settings.
Our trainers use positive reinforcement methods only, never harsh tools like prong collars or shock collars. This approach helps build your dog's confidence and happiness.
