These clever canines have shown great progress in confidence, focus, and polite manners around new sights, sounds, and smells. We’re so proud of each team’s growth — proof that practice, patience, and positive training really pay off! 💕

Last chance to join us for Puppy Yoga! Only a few spots left.

The first hour sold out, so we added a second hour of PUPPY YOGA!

Get ready to stretch, smile, and snuggle at our Puppy Yoga Fundraiser! Join us for one hour on November 16th for an unforgettable yoga session surrounded by adorable puppies with big dreams to become Exceptional Sidekick Service Dogs!

This feel-good event supports the early training and care of our next generation of life-changing service dogs. Every downward dog helps us raise confident, compassionate canines who will go on to support teens and young adults overcoming trauma and mental health challenges.

Spots are limited, so grab your mat and reserve your place now!

Come for the yoga, stay for the puppy kisses, and leave knowing you made a real difference.

The Exceptional Sidekick provides psychiatric service dogs to teens and young adults who’ve experienced trauma and mental health struggles. Our dogs help them regain confidence, build meaningful connections, and stay on track to complete their education.

Check out Coco enjoying our Movement Puzzles class — based on the Two-Bowl Game! 🐾Good job, sweet and smart girl! 💛

Our Movement Puzzles class blends brain and body work to help dogs of all personalities — from shy to confident — learn to problem-solve, communicate, and build trust. It’s one of the best ways to strengthen your teamwork while also encouraging your dog’s independence.
