Question on Google
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.

Mancini did a great job with my two German shepherds. They were fearful and reactionary of everything and their training instilled the confidence that they and I both needed to have a much better relationship. Thank You Mancini

My dog Sadie went through several trainings with Mancini at Mind Your Manners Canine Training. She started with the puppy class, as she had begun barking at other dogs and her own reflection. Mancini was able to quickly break her of that habit and was able to give her good foundational skills such as socializing with other dogs, on the leash walking, sitting, learning the word “no”, etc. We went on to get her service dog trained, and Mancini provided the official certificates, card, and service vest. We can now take her anywhere with us, which has been great. I also use Mind Your Manners for overnight boarding when we go on trips, and it’s so nice to know that she has fun playing with other dogs, brushes up on her manners and training, and gets to be treated as one of the family! Thank you, I’m so glad we found Mind Your Manners Canine Training!

I took my dog to Mind Your Manners when my bully pit was a puppy and I can't say enough about them. My boy is almost 11 years old and still knows his training. Mancini took the time to break down the whole process and explain step by step how the training would be done. Needless to say after 2 weeks we had a well behaved wonderfully trained puppy. Over the 11 years we have booked boarding with MYM and can't describe the relief of knowing our boy is comfortable and taken care of when he's away from us. The booking was quick and easy online. There are several add-on options like grooming etc which is great.

We have two big strong-willed dogs staying at Mind Your Manners. The owner has been fabulous with our dogs. They have learned to be respectful and of course mind. The dogs are on a daily routine, and they are like two new dogs. I would highly recommend Mind Your Manners. The owner was wonderful with us, as well. We had an unusual circumstance, and we don't know what we would have done without him. He is truly a dog loving person and he treats their owners pretty good too...LOL. We also have had to learn, which he is careful that we fully understand what our roles are. Don't hesitate to leave your furry loved one with Mind Your Manners. You will be happy you did. I know this sounds like a commercial, but we are just everyday folks like you, and we made a good decision for our family.

We had our Maggie there for dog boot camp and a number of times for boarding and Mancini seems to have the magic touch for animals. He is the best for availability and Maggie loves to go. No worries when he is taking care of her! Thanks Mancini You are the Best!!
