What people have asked about this business.
What payment plans do you offer for someone interested in service dog training?
For service dog training, you can start with a $1,500 deposit to kick off the process under a service dog contract. Flexible payment plans are available to help spread out the cost, so it's easier to manage. You’ll need to settle the full payment before the certification is given, but you can discuss customized options if your dog requires some extra hands-on training time. This approach aims to make the investment more manageable while ensuring your dog gets the best training possible.
Yes we do. We have a great service dog program if you’re looking for full blown service dog training. We also have an ESA program if you’re just looking for a well behaved companion to assist you in your home.

Our shihpoo puppy recently completed boarder training and I cant reccomend it enough. We are in the process of moving and our Miss Lola (name of our puppy) she came back from training during this time and it has made it so easy to have a puppy and move. She stays in her bed when she is supposed to and won’t get off even if she put herself there. She waits to go out the door until we say ok. No crying or whining when it’s time to go to her crate. Her leash skills were non existent and she went came back being so good. She is also excellent at coming back when called if off her leash. If you are thinking about it or on the fence it is worth every penny.

Night and day difference. Our puppy was very shy and lacked confidence. After every session, She gained confidence and was so excited every time we showed up. She really loved the cup games.

I am a Dog Trainer in New Hampshire. I've had the pleasure to get to know Lola through Dog Training conferences of many years past. She's an incredible Dog Trainer! I have also met her personal Service Dog Sirius. He is the epitome of class, control and a dog who knows his job. Lola has a wonderful way of approaching training a dog. She is well spoken, kind and always has the best interest of the dog and human in her care. She is a wonderful human and I can't say enough good about her and her skill base. I absolutely recommend Lola for all of your training needs. She's a wonderful wealth of knowledge.
