Gilford's Golden Guardians

This was the best experience for our special needs child! Kaarla is absolutely amazing to work with and is always available to help and answer questions! She worked with our schedule to make sessions convenient! Our dog passed her test after our 10 month training packet and now she goes to therapy sessions the store even the park with our daughter. Kaarla is so attentive to the needs of the individual to make sure your dog can serve them as best possible! We loved this experience for the whole family and love our Milli! We will forever be thankful for Gilfords Golden Guardians and what this has done for our little one! If you’re thinking about a service dog for your child with special needs please give them a call!

Gilford Golden Guardians has been an amazing experience!!! Kaarla is extremely knowledgeable and has the patience of a Saint!! She’s always available to answer questions and very accommodating when we had to change our schedule. She’s kind, warm, and professional. Thanks to Kaarla, I know my daughter will be more comfortable and confident going to school knowing Indie will be there to help her. I’m lucky to have found her and will always be grateful to her.

Kaarla is by far amazing at what she does. It's truly hard to explain just how wonderful she is and the training program is. Her knowledge and expertise in training service dogs is easily observed after just the first visit. The training program is comprehensive, methodical and individualized, embracing your family's needs. I always left the training sessions eager to start practicing the new skills with Dash and looking forward to our next training session. She is easy to communicate with, accommodating to schedules, and empathetic towards every situation. I am 100% confident that you will not regret working with her <3 She feels like family and we would be lost without our Service Response Dog Dash for our 5 year old.
