Facility Dog Training & Placement
At Specialty Dog Training™, we are proud to train and place facility dogs that make a meaningful impact in healthcare, visitation, and educational settings. These highly trained dogs work alongside professional facilitators to provide comfort, motivation, and emotional support to both adults and children.
What Is a Facility Dog?
A facility dog is specially trained to work in professional environments such as:
- Healthcare facilities – hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and clinics
- Education settings – schools, colleges, and special education programs
- Visitation programs – counseling centers, courtrooms, and community programs
Coupled with a trained handler, facility dogs enhance the quality of life for the people they serve by:
- Providing comfort and emotional support
- Reducing stress and anxiety during difficult times
- Encouraging social interaction and engagement
- Supporting learning, therapy, and recovery goals
