Do you train pups for mental health therapy certificates

Hello and Thank you for contacting Mind Your Manners Canine Training. Yes, we do train mental health dogs for various duties. Our service dog program not only fully trains your dog for that specific duty but also fully certifies the dog and trains the handler along the side of their dog.

I don't think they do. But I'm sure if they don't that they can direct you in doing so.

Sadly I'm updating my review. We had been promised one follow up training session so we could practice with additional dogs present. We also booked boarding for a weekend getaway for a milestone Birthday event. We had set this up when we came to pick up our dog, about 40 ish days prior. We never got a return text or call after pick up. I would have dealt with being told no, vs never hearing back from them. We ended up needing to make last minute arrangements on boarding. We wanted our dog to be somewhere he was familiar, even if it meant driving 40 miles each way. I guess he didn't like our dog 😢......... Outstanding service. Our dog is one of the most stubborn animals alive with the exception of my girlfriend. Sammy came home a much better boy than he left. 😢 out of 😥, would..... .

We adopted our new dog, Kenneth. He pulled so hard we couldn’t even walk him, so we did the 21-day Board and Train program. When we picked Kenneth up, he was a totally different dog. He was still the same fun-loving boy, but now he had manners, and we can finally take our walks at night like we always wanted to. Thank you, Mind Your Manners Canine Training

Mind your manners takes good care of our Scout and is very good with her. Would recommend them for doggie daycare

I have been using Mancini's dog training services since 2020. My Staffordshire is reactionary and very stubborn, much more so in her senior years, with his ongoing training and guidance, we are staying on track. Highly recommend, he genuinely loves what he does and it shows.

I’ve been taking our dog Penny to Mancini since she was a puppy and she is now 6. She went to puppy training at his home for 6 weeks and returned a well mannered, potty trained pup. She goes there any time we are out of town and returns happy. No issues at all. I highly recommend this trainer!
