What we do

At Dawgs at Work, we specialize in training exceptional mobility and psychological service dogs, therapy dogs, and emotional support dogs. We are committed to maintaining a higher standard than what is often seen in the industry, ensuring that our dogs not only meet but exceed expectations for behavior, reliability, and temperament.

Our program includes several branches to meet diverse needs:

Complete Program: In this branch, we source, raise, and train our dogs from an early age, ensuring they develop the ideal temperament and skills to support their future handlers. This comprehensive approach allows us to closely monitor their growth and training every step of the way.

Steppin Out Program: This program is designed for clients who already own their own dogs and wish to have them undergo specialized training. Each dog will be evaluated for their abilities to determine if they are a suitable candidate for the program. This collaborative approach helps strengthen the bond between handler and dog while ensuring that the training meets the specific needs of both.

Wellness Paws for Hire: Our community outreach program offers individuals and companies the opportunity to rent our therapy dog teams. Our trained and certified dogs and handlers can be booked for visitations or events, providing a unique and comforting experience that promotes emotional well-being and connection. Whether for schools, hospitals, corporate events, or private time in your home, our therapy dog teams bring joy and support to various settings.

All of our sourced puppies come from carefully selected breeding partners who have undergone a rigorous interview and vetting process. Once our breeders are chosen, each puppy must pass comprehensive aptitude and temperament testing before being considered for our program. This meticulous selection process helps us ensure that every dog we train has the inherent qualities necessary to become a reliable companion and support animal.

Our training program incorporates multiple levels of the American Kennel Club’s Canine Good Citizen titles, along with our own specialized requirements. We feel strongly about using the most current and up-to-date science in our training methods, and we require our trainers to participate in continuing education regularly. This commitment ensures that our training techniques remain effective and humane, fostering the best possible outcomes for our dogs and their future handlers.

We also understand that the cost of obtaining a service or therapy dog can be a barrier for many. That’s why we actively work with funding sources to help make our dogs more affordable for those who need them most. Our goal is to ensure that everyone has access to the life-changing support of a trained canine companion.
