Service Dogs

Raised for a life of service

Our Golden Retriever puppies are raised in our home and underfoot from day one. We focus on early socialization and problem prevention, raising puppies who are calm, well rounded and ready to take on life's challenges with love and joy to spare.

How we raise them

We use a combination of AviDog and Puppy Culture for early socialization, counterconditioning and desensitization. Early Neurological Stimulation starts at three days old. Our puppies leave us litter box trained, doggie door trained and crate trained, and we imprint a default Safety Recall into every one of them.

Puppies in service

Many of our puppies go on to work in the service dog industry. Trainers have found our ESI training, which we start at birth, very helpful, and the extra desensitization we add gives our puppies the self-confidence that is critical in a service dog.

Watch them grow into the job

Our families and trainers keep sending us photos and news as their dogs grow up, from first lessons to full working careers. We add them to each dog's album so you can follow along.
