Service Dog Expertise

Our commitment to a kindness-first approach guarantees excellent results without compromising your dog's trust and well-being.

  • Our free in-home evaluation helps determine the right program for your needs. Generally, if your dog needs help with basic commands and house manners, start with basic obedience. If they know basics but need reliability in public or off-leash, choose advanced. Service dog training is for those needing specific assistance tasks for disabilities.

  • Training duration varies based on your goals and your dog's temperament. We estimate 8-10 sessions and like to meet weekly or biweekly. If training takes longer, we will continue to meet until your dog is successfully trained.

  • We provide all training in your home environment. This approach ensures your dog learns behaviors where they matter most—in the real-world settings where you'll need them. It also allows us to address specific challenges unique to your living situation.

  • We work with dogs of all ages, from puppies as young as 8 weeks to senior dogs. It's never too early or too late to establish good behavior patterns, though training approaches are tailored to each dog's developmental stage.

  • Our training is founded on kindness and positive reinforcement while maintaining clear boundaries. We never use harsh corrections or fear-based methods. Instead, we focus on building understanding through consistent communication and rewarding desired behaviors.

  • Our free in-home evaluation is a 60-90 minute session where we get to know you and your dog. We'll discuss your goals, observe your dog's current behavior, and demonstrate some initial training techniques. This helps us create a customized plan that addresses your specific needs and sets realistic expectations.

  • Yes, we understand that quality training is an investment. If you want to start training before you have the full package cost, we can work with you to provide a flexible payment plan based on the training package that best suits your needs.

  • We provide in-home training throughout Utah and Salt Lake County. There are no additional travel fees for clients within our standard service area. During booking, we'll confirm that your location falls within our service zone.
