THE PROBLEM WITH GETTING A SERVICE DOG
$30K-$50K
What a trained service dog can cost
1-3 Years
How long you wait before you get your dog
Few Trainers
Most pros won't touch it. It takes too long and the legal side scares them off.
So most people are stuck. Pay a fortune, wait for years, or end up with a dog in a $20 vest that isn't really trained.
The owner-trainer way
THERE'S A BETTER WAY
You train your own dog. At home. With us.
We call it being an owner-trainer. Nobody knows your dog better than you, and that's what makes the training stick.
WHAT THE ADA ACTUALLY REQUIRES
Only 2 things.
1
Your dog is under control at all times in public.
Our courses already cover this
2
Your dog performs a task related to your disability.
The new Service Dog Course
We've been teaching the first one for years. This course adds the second.
TASKS WE'LL TEACH
1
Deep Pressure Therapy
Often used for PTSD, anxiety and autism.
2
Blocking
Your dog creates space between you and the people around you.
3
Bracing and Mobility
Help getting up from a chair or off the floor.
4
Retrieve
Like bringing you a dropped pill bottle.
5
Laser Touch
Directing your dog to a specific item.
What we won't cover
Guide dog work. That takes years and isn't what this course is for.
Beyond these 5 tasks
You'll also learn our training method, so you can teach almost any task your dog needs to do.
THE LEGAL SIDE, MADE SIMPLE
Inside the course you'll learn:
- What federal law covers, and how your state's rules differ
- Where you can and can't take your dog
- How to handle staff at restaurants, hotels and other places when they question you
Be ready for it
You will get questioned at some point.
We'll show you how to handle it calmly and correctly.
IS MY DOG A FIT?
Most dogs can do this work.
Usually fixable
A bit reactive or extra energetic?
That's often fixable. Our Aggression and Reactivity course is included in Elite if you need it.
Be realistic
A dog with a serious bite history?
That dog isn't suited to service work.
START WITH THE FOUNDATIONS
This isn't a standalone course. Your dog needs solid obedience first. That's why it lives inside Elite, alongside the courses you'll need:
Obedience 101
Sit, down, stay, recall and crate, using reward-based training.
Leashed
Reliable on-leash obedience in any situation.
Unleashed
Professional off-leash obedience with the 5-Step E-Collar method.
The Power of Free Shaping
A dog that wants to learn and solve problems on its own.
Start these now, and your dog will be ready when the service dog modules drop.
THE RELEASE TIMELINE
Q4 2026
First modules drop inside Elite.
Every 1 to 2 Weeks
New modules released. We email you each time.
Spring 2027
Full course finished. Elite goes up in price for those who join later.
You'll get each module as soon as it's ready, and we'll email you each time.
