You may have heard the saying that dogs resemble their owners. Just a quick look at the photo is enough to confirm that!

These are two lovely ladies who radiate happiness, confidence, and pride! It couldn't be any other way, given their amazing progress during the PSD Training Course!

Thuane is amazed by her paw girl's excellent performance! When they first started, Thuane's biggest concern was Maze's tendency to pull, which made their walks challenging. However, thanks to the training, Maze has learned to remain calm and walk by her handler's side. Her response to commands has also drastically improved, which reassures Thuane of her progress and willingness to learn, continuing to show excellent manners in the long run.

This is how Thuane finishes her essay in the Final:

"This course has not only helped Maze grow but has also strengthened our bond with her. We are grateful for the training and the progress she has made, and we look forward to continuing this journey together."

Thank you, girls, for choosing our training course and for making us part of your amazing journey! We wish you luck and ongoing success!

The way Sula looks at Sebastian is exactly what we imagine when talking about a look full of love and appreciation! You can immediately recognize the deep bond between a handler and their loyal companion!
But Sula is much more than that—she is an amazing paw girl with an excellent work ethic (she is a German Shepherd, after all), a sharp mind, an eagerness to please her owner, and a strong desire to learn! The PSD Training Program has proved all of that and further emphasized the importance of a loving relationship based on mutual understanding and respect.
Sebastian (Seb) learned a lot about service dogs, including the difference between them and ESAs, the skills and behaviors expected from a service dog in public, and guidelines on how to properly care for and train such a dog.
Seb's goal was to train Sula to recognize his cues and help mitigate symptoms. He looks forward to teaching her his 'tells,' including in social situations.
During the training, Sula displayed excellent manners and calmness in various scenarios while remaining alert to Seb's needs.
We believe this says it all about the team's amazing performance and dedication! Dear Seb and Sula, may your journey together be smooth, joyful, and successful!

You can spot a true gentleman right away! And Pablo is nothing less than a charming gentleman with impeccable manners and an elegant appearance!
He is always on his best behavior, and his amazing fluffy coat and impressive skills never go unnoticed! As a Poodle mix, he has also amazed us with his sharp mind and eagerness to learn.
With all that said, it was no surprise that he completed our PSD Training Course with ease. The course has been invaluable for both Pablo and his beloved handler, Sehr, providing practical and theoretical knowledge.
Sehr has gained a deeper understanding of service dogs, their intelligence, and their ability to learn various tasks to support individuals with different needs.
The instructional videos included in the lessons were particularly helpful, allowing Sehr to replay them as needed while guiding Pablo through the exercises.
Now, after completing the course, Sehr feels more confident in Pablo’s abilities as a service dog, ready to support her every step of the way!
We wish this wonderful team a journey filled with happiness and success!

We are thrilled to hear how proud service dog handlers are of their furry friends after completing a training program! Dakota is a great example of a proud service dog handler! Her paw friend's lovely face, big eyes looking for adventures, her smile, and fluffy coat make her an incredible dog! However, it’s Yuki's intelligence and the strong bond with Dakota that have helped her become an amazing service dog.

Medical alert training, such as Cardiac Alert Dog Training, is not a challenge everyone can take on, but it was a great experience for the two gorgeous ladies, strengthening their bond even more! Dakota shared that Yuki already exhibited many behaviors naturally, but with the help of a structured training program, Dakota refined Yuki’s abilities and turned them into a purposeful alert system.

Dakota feels more confident knowing she has Yuki by her side, offering more than just companionship.

"It's been an empowering and rewarding journey for both of us. Thank you very much."

Thank you too, Dakota, for the wonderful feedback! We wish you and Yuki love and success in everything you set your mind to!

Training has also greatly helped Cooper overcome the loss of Zoe, Sarah's other dog.

Sarah's excitement radiates through her kind words: "We cannot thank you enough for making this course possible for us. I always thought getting a service dog would be out of my reach, as the waiting lists are so long and limited, but now my best fur friend and I have been able to train together".

How could anyone be mad at this adorable, innocent face? Matilda is so sweet that Christine might find it hard to say 'no' to her!

However, both girls understand that service dog training requires a great deal of discipline and commitment. They have shown true dedication throughout the PSD training!

Matilda has learned that training time is a special time just for her, and she has fully enjoyed it! Throughout the process, Christine has gained a deeper understanding of obedience and fundamental skills essential for more advanced training.

She has also recognized the vital role that each team plays in representing the service dog community. This realization has motivated her to continue growing with Matilda and set a positive example for others!

Furthermore, she has taught her little sweetheart essential tasks such as Deep Pressure Therapy and is eager to continue practicing them!

This is how Christine ended her final essay:

"These dogs are a valuable part of their owners' lives and help significantly improve their quality of life.
Thank you very much for this great opportunity to train my dog as a service dog."

We are so proud of you both! Keep up the amazing work and never stop chasing your dreams!

We know what you might be thinking when looking at Myah’s photos—how could a creature be so adorable?! She is the epitome of cuteness!
But let’s go deeper and tell you more about her and her handler, Catherine. Behind Catherine’s warm smile lies a wealth of wisdom and experience as a dog owner.
This incredible lady has had five other dogs before Myah, and her journey with them has been truly life-changing.

Here’s a short excerpt that captures her insightful perspective:

"Let a pup be a pup—they want to please you, but as the human 'brain,' you must take on the responsibility of patience, understanding the dog’s limits, and recognizing when you or your dog might be having an 'off' day.
Take a break from the desire to 'just have an obedient dog' and instead allow them to have fun, feel the love, jump, run, and be free. ALLOW THE DOG TO BE A DOG. When you do, their training to become a well-mannered family member will come naturally."

Catherine’s wise, loving, and patient approach to dog training has helped Myah complete our Intensive Service Dog Course with ease!
She will continue refining Myah’s skills, including alerting by phone in case of an emergency, such as a potential stroke, anxiety attack, or fall.
Catherine shared that the course has been enlightening, as she often feels much of it aligns with common sense—piece by piece—giving her even more confidence in what the program has revealed.
Catherine and Myah—an amazing team with limitless potential on their journey to greatness!

Luca's confident posture says it all—this fluffy, sweet boy is as proud as his handler, Daniela! And for good reason!
This lovely team has recently completed our Cardiac Alert Dog Course. As you may know, scent training can be quite specific and isn’t everyone’s cup of tea!

That’s what commitment looks like!
We are absolutely confident in the team's ability to achieve their training goals and wish them the best of luck on their journey!rova
