OUR PROGRAMS
Assistance Dog Training
York, South Carolina Location. We are new to the area, but are not new. We have moved from the Central Florida area to escape over development and the crowds. Our Director has over 40 years of experience training dogs and we have successfully certified over 200 Veteran Service Dog Teams since 2008. Please visit our FB page... or our PHOTO GALLERY for our success stories.
We offer quality bred pups, young adults and temperament tested rescued dogs for your consideration.
If you currently have a dog we will consider teaching you how to train him/her. We will temperament test your dog to make sure they are suitable to become a fully certified Service Dog.
SEE OWNER TRAINED PROGRAM below for more info.
Our program is for all veterans who have honorably served our country. Age is never a factor. Learn More...

Owner-Trained
Do you already own a dog? Do you think your dog has what it takes to become your fully trained service dog?
All Service Dog Candidates Must Pass a Mandatory Temperament Evaluation. Not all dogs are suitable to become a Service Dog. PTSD dogs MUST be "rock solid" to be effective at their job. Certain breeds of dogs have been bred for generations to provide specific tasks such as guard or fighting. Each dog is evaluated on a case by case basis. ALL dogs MUST be people and DOG FRIENDLY
