Our Dog Training Philosophy

Here at Saved by a Rescue, we believe that every dog is an individual and should be trained that way! There is no cookie-cutter method for training a dog, because no two dogs are the same. Training will be tailored to each dog/service team. We use Foundation-Style dog training - a training style that is centered around your dogs unique psychology and has some of the most reliable results that I have seen (and I have tried MANY different training methods). Added perk, it also leads to one very happy pup! Our dogs LOVE to work and will happily do their jobs. We believe that dogs from a shelter can become wonderful service dogs and in the process, we are saving a life! 

Size Doesn't Matter

We will match you with a dog that will suit your needs best! If you need a giant breed such as a Great Dane, great! If you need a small breed like a Chihuahua, no problem! We will find the perfect dog for you.

Why Choose Us?

We are driven to provide service dogs at a reasonable price and save a life at the same time. We do not breed our own dogs, we rescue them from local shelters! Training is done on site and will heavily involve the new handler. Basic obedience will be completed by the time you meet your potential service dog. The new handler will be training their dog with heavy involvement and guidance from us. This will ensure a stronger bond between dog and handler. As well as a handler that can problem-solve small behavioral/training issues if they arise.

Service dogs are not the only dogs we work with. It is always a wonderful experience to go on a walk with your pup where you are not being dragged across the sidewalk every time your pup finds something interesting; or needing to be constantly on the look out to make sure another dog is not rounding the corner to avoid a fight. It is possible to have your dream dog, you just have to be willing to work for it!

In addition to reasonable pricing, handler training and dog training for the general public, we also offer behavioral therapy. We have a licensed professional counselor-supervisor who has over 15 years in the mental health field who can work with you to meet your mental health needs as you go through your journey. In addition, our counselor meets with you at intake so we can make sure we have a clear and thorough understanding of your clinical needs. She also works with our dog handlers to assist in making sure that your dog addresses your specific clinical concerns. The dogs are only half of what we do!

Foundation-Style Dog Training

We use Foundation-style dog training here at Saved by a Rescue. Foundation-style dog training means that we start with the absolute basic level of your dog, their genetics. We tailor each training session/curriculum to each specific dog; because, like it or not, each dog is different and will learn at different rates and in different ways. We will begin building your dog's education from the ground up to ensure the best retention and reliability in any situation. We specialize in Psychiatric Service Dogs, but will dabble in other service needs as well as basic obedience and trouble-shooting behavioral issues.
