What others have said

Our success reflects over 15 years of service dog training experience, plus over 10 more as part of the Kiwanis Club of the Foothills efforts. 

Every child's situation is unique in many respects, so we limit the size of each Academy group to a maximum of six families to insure that we meet the special needs of each family.

You can help!

We are grateful for our sponsors who provide veterinary services and dog food.  "You get what you pay for", and our dogs are expensive!  We must give our priorities to our training activities.  Therefor, we rely heavily on sponsorships to fund the purchase and health care of pups.
