Sam Legg contacted me in March 2015 to help her turn TJ, a rescued terrier mix, into a service dog. TJ had a long way to go! He had handling issues, reactivity to strangers, resource guarding tendencies, constant hard-mouthing and scratching of Sam, and a bite history. Although Sam had taken several group classes with TJ, including successfully completing obedience and CGC classes, as well as beginner agility, these had not helped with the underlying behavioral issues. Within two months of o… Read more

Jessie and Molly, a Golden Retriever, sit facing each other, smiling into each other's eyes

Hope you had a nice holiday! Molly and I spent a few days at my Mom’s house. Really good update 🙂 I was able to use both my Mom and sister for some good reps of the distraction training games we played during our lesson and she did excellent! And then, we had a night where my aunt and uncle came over which usually would have sent her over the top- but I was ready having prepped her with some reps of the “break, say hi” exercise before they came and OMG what a difference! She did amaz… Read more

"We finally feel like we are in the right hands" - Jessie Cortez & Molly (SDiT)

Thanks again! Penny and I really enjoyed the class and learned so much! I actually put my auto-response to use last weekend when we were out. I used the whole sequence (starting with the auto-response of “one moment” then the rest followed naturally)! Penny did great! A bit distracted but was able to refocus and stay focused while the woman insisted on asking me about service dog breeds etc LOL so that exercise in class got put to use right away. It’s definitely something I struggle with b… Read more

Young Boxer lying on the grass with a tennis ball in her mouth

Layla was not a typical 5-month-old puppy when she started with At Your Service in March 2017. Although friendly and playful, Layla was so wild when Jim brought her to Family Dog Manners group classes that she could not focus and one night actually broke apart her collar with the intensity of her wiggling! In June, Gloria Young asked me to do an in-home behavior and training consult. I learned that at home Layla was so out-of-control — including constantly jumping on and painfully hard-mouthing… Read more

Thanks for all of your info and videos, etc. You really went above and beyond putting a lot down in words and sharing a lot with us personally even.

It’s so great to see how you’ve created a business out of this wonderful gift – service dogs. And it is truly a gift. And for those who are blessed to be able to have them as part of their lives making a difference helping them do things they can’t do themselves and be successful in ways they couldn’t on their own, it’s a miracle – and you are a… Read more

Donya Platt with Toby (Service Dog Training Lessons)

Josh and Kim contacted us about their recently adopted dog’s extremely fearful behavior. Scout appeared to have been raised without human interaction and was frightened by people, the television, cars, etc. Even after two months in his new home, he often seemed “frozen” in fear, and despite his new family’s gentle and loving ways, it was hard for him to take treats around Josh and Kim, let them touch or approach him, etc. After the consult, Kim emailed Sharon Thank you for your time and patie… Read more
