How the Process Works








What people say about training with At Your Service…
“A comprehensive program from start to finish… there is no one better to propel you towards becoming a fully functioning service dog team.”
Kate McDonnell and Arvis (Labrador retriever) 
“Sharon is a large part in saving my life and helping me rebuild a new one. She is the best trainer I found after almost 3 years of searching. We worked together for over a year, evaluating several dogs, before bringing my prospect home.”
Kyndyl Greyland and Runa (rough-coated collie) 
“I immediately felt comfortable with you because there is a true level of empathy… What a MAJOR difference working with you has been compared to the nightmare of the last service dog program…”
Jessie Cortez and Molly (golden retriever) 
“I was looking for a service dog trainer with extensive experience - someone who uses only positive reinforcement techniques and has a track record of results. I couldn't have hoped for a better experience or outcome. Sharon cared about our success and gave us the tools and encouragement to succeed.”
Carol Riordan and Finn (Biewer terrier)
