Types of service dogs we provide



Service dog



Service dogs are dogs trained for a specific person to do several tasks specific to that person. The dogs are trained in order to help their partner. A service dog only serves one person and does not transfer or leave him or her.



Facility dog



A facility dog is trained for a specific job that applies in a work-type environment. They have to pass the same preliminary tests that the service dogs do, as they are often permitted in public. A facility dog may be handled and serve many people. They can be trained to do several things, such as courthouse work, intervention work, drug rehabilitation, mental health offices, victim services, working with at risk-youth etc.



Therapy dog



Therapy dogs are personal pets that have regular visits to schools, nursing homes, hospitals, and other places by invitation. They do not have the right to be in stores, restaurants, or other public places that regular dogs are not permitted. Therapy dogs are tested regularly for temperament and adaptability to different surroundings to ensure they offer a safe experience everywhere they go.
