Want to work together, but you’re out of our service radius? Virtual lessons would be a great option for you!

Virtual lessons are conducted in a lecture style for 30 minute intervals. Prior to the lesson, clients will submit videos of training sessions to a shared Google Drive album. Our trainer, Claire, will review the videos and provide in-depth feedback during the lessons. There will also be time to troubleshoot any issues you’re having! At the end of the lesson, Claire will assign homework, with feedback from the client, to be completed before the next lesson.

Virtual lessons cost $75 a la carte. If you wish to purchase a bundle of three (3) or more lessons at a time, the price drops to $65 per lesson. Payment is required at the time of booking to secure your scheduled time.

Reach out today via DM, text, or email to schedule a virtual lesson!

Welcome Cassidy & SDiT Rhodes to the Cosmic Crew 💫

Cassidy has been working with me virtually since late December with Rhodes, a now 11 month old Doberman puppy! Rhodes is a wonderfully polite little guy with some big shoes to fill. Currently, we’re working on creating fun outings for both Rhodes and Cassidy, focusing on capturing good behaviors when naturally offered! 🫶🏻

Board & train slots will be opening again as of April 14th, 2025!

Each dog that comes into our boarding program is treated to a customized training schedule that includes follow up lessons and homework. We only take in one board and train dog at a time to create a more personalized approach to training. Dogs that come into our home are treated as one of our own with one-on-one time, age-appropriate exercise, and playtime with our resident dogs.

Board and trains are ONLY offered to service dogs or service dogs in training. We can work on a variety of things from public access skills, medical alert foundations, and other task work.

As of March 2025, dogs over the age of 6 months entering the board and train program are required to be crate trained AND potty trained. No exceptions will be made for this rule. If an owner is not truthful about their dog’s crate or potty status, the dog will be sent home immediately at the owner’s expense with no refunds on services.

If this is something you are interested in, please feel free to DM us, text us at (615) 281-9364, or shoot us an email at [email protected]!

Cosmic Service Dogs is partnering with Dino Dog Gear (), a biothane and leather harness maker that is one of the few makers that I trust to produce safe mobility gear for service dogs.

What does this mean?

Clients of Cosmic Service Dogs will be eligible for a harness spot with Dino Dog Gear once they have completed the required health testing for mobility work within our program. Clients who have completed this health testing will receive a voucher that is redeemable for up to one year post issuing it. The voucher includes a guaranteed harness spot and 10% off of your harness order.

More information can be found on Dino Dog Gear’s page on harness styles, both biothane and leather. CSD is also able to help go over harness styles & what will work best for you and your dog as a team before the order is placed.

I’m so happy to open this next chapter with a gear maker I trust so deeply to create safe mobility gear for my own dogs, and now dogs in our program as well!

*This offer is also open to clients who have previously graduated CSD’s mobility service dog program. Just DM for the voucher if you are a previous graduate!

Delilah went home this evening, but it was such a joy getting to meet her and have her stay this past weekend!

I think it’s such a special thing when you get to meet your virtual clients, especially ones you’ve been working with for so long!

Thank you .sunshine for trusting me with her and I hope you can visit again soon 💜

This is me giving every single one of you a smooch for supporting me over the years 💜

I love what I do so much, but I wouldn’t be here without everyone’s unwavering support of my growth and learning journey as a trainer.

I strive to learn and do better every day because I want to be the best I can be for my clients, past, present, and future.

Thank you for trusting me with your dogs. I love each and every one of you so much.

Go play with your dog today. Show them love in the way they want to be loved. Let them eat a bite of bacon or shred that cardboard box you’ve been saving. Take them for a hike or give them their most special toy. Tell them it’s from Auntie Claire 🫶🏻

Cricket has been in training with me since December 2023. He came to me initially to work on dog excitement reactivity, and while it’s been a while since we stopped labeling him as reactive, tonight was the final test for him.

Winnie, my 8 month old puppy, came to his lesson essentially to terrorize him while he worked (not as bad as it sounds - it just involved a lot of her sniffing him and getting into his space like shown in the picture). He ignored her beautifully, even when she tried to steal his treats.

So we had the discussion & Cricket is officially no longer labeled as reactive 🥳 like I said, it’s been a while since I would have said he was, but he’s officially graduated from that phase of training today 🫶🏻

He’ll be turning two in a few months and once he receives his official health testing, we have one more task to train in addition to finalizing his alert. In the coming weeks we’ll be administering the Cosmic Service Dogs Public Access Test! Cricket is very close to fully completing his training and I’m very excited for them.

Everyone tell Cricket good job 🫶🏻👏🏻

Things I’ve learned about Fenrys after living with him for two and a half weeks:

- he is a connoisseur of personal play. dare I say, it’s his highest value reward.
- in order of value: recall > playing in creek > playing frisbee. I am very grateful for that recall. no soggy shepherds in this house 🫡🤞🏻
- zoomies are INTENSE in the evening before he poops on his walk. he takes full advantage of the length of the flexi.
- if you put his slow feeder on top of his crate after he finishes eating, no you didn’t. it’s on the floor now. you’re welcome!
- he has big paws. he will smack you with them. no, there’s no loophole around this 🫶🏻

Overall, Fen has been fitting in to the household very well. We’re prioritizing behavioral downs at the moment and now that my car is fixed, he gets to go on more field trips this week!

I just realized I never introduced Grim!

Grim is a year old English Shepherd and a littermate to current SDiT client, Dottie, and past B&T client, Koivu!

he had his preliminary evaluation for service work a few weeks ago and this past Friday he had his first lesson with us!

right now we’re building some foundational skills such as his loose leash walk and finding the heel position, as well as encouraging environmental neutrality!

eventually he will be starting medical alerts and responses for his handler ✨

Merry Christmas from all of us at Cosmic Service Dogs ✨

This time last year I had two consistent clients. This year, we’re in the double digits and growing every single day. I’m so proud of the business I’ve built this past year, but more importantly I’m so proud of all of the dogs and handlers I help serve.

Each and every one of you are so special to me. I hope you all have a very merry holiday season 🫶🏻

Happy holidays from Cosmic Service Dogs!

For this winter season, we’ve compiled a short list of possible gift ideas. Since our demographic is service dog handlers, the list is oriented towards things that could be useful for any folks who have dogs in training or fully trained dogs. Of course, this also applies to people who have pets!

In this chilly winter season, we hope that these gifts keep you and your pups warm! And as always, the best gift of all is being cozy inside with dogs.

✨CLIENT HIGHLIGHT✨

Caroline & Kai have been working with us for almost a year now! Kai started our program with low confidence and his handler didn’t know how to properly handle it. Over these past few months, we’ve built up Kai’s stress tolerance by showing him handler support where his confidence lacked. By showing him that his handler will never put him in a situation he can’t handle, he has learned that he can actually do a lot of previously scary things!

Caroline & those frequently around the pair have stated that Kai is noticeably happier and enthusiastic while working now!

Kai is continuing in our program to focus on new task work & refining his obedience skills 🫶🏻
