Emotional Support Dog Training
SDT offers customized training programs to elevate your dog’s natural desire to love you and be there for you. Our ESD programs focus on teaching advanced obedience, house manners, community obedience for dog friendly outings and engagement tasks to help support the handler in times of need. Specialty Dog Training also places young adult pre-trained emotional support dogs. We learn about your needs and wants, hand select a dog based on temperament, size and ability, train and prepare that dog for you and then transfer your new companion with comprehensive handler training. An emotional support animal is an animal companion that offers some type of benefit to an individual with some form of disability. The animal is intended to provide companionship and support that will help alleviate at least one aspect of the disability. ESA’s/ESD’s do not have public access rights like a service dog.
Facility Dog Training
Our team at Specialty Dog Training loves the opportunity to train and place facility dogs. Facility dogs are highly trained dogs who partner with a facilitator working in a health care, visitation or education setting. Our facility dog’s are devoted to assisting individuals under the care of or visiting an organization that serves both adults and children. These dogs, coupled with trained handlers, enhance the quality of life for the people utilizing the services provided by the organization. SDT can source a dog for your organization or evaluate an existing dog to see if that dog has the abilities needed for the job.
