What is a certified service dog?
A certified service dog is trained to help people with mental, physical, and/or medical disabilities. We do not currently offer training for medical alert service dogs. Our service dog training in [city] is designed to help those who need mental or physical assistance.
Service Dogs are allowed access everywhere, even places that usually wouldn’t allow pets, and this is why service dogs require such intense training. They must be able to remain calm and focused around any distraction.
The service dog trainers at Bmore Dog Training can evaluate your dog and determine if they would have the temperament for the service dog training program.
