Do you train service dogs?

Yes! We train service dogs who join our program for disabilities such as POTs, PTSD, autism, anxiety, and more. These dogs are trained to assist their disabled handler through tasks and undergo public access training.

Do you train emotional support animals?

Sort of! Emotional Support Animals or ESAs do not require any training as they are not allowed in non-pet friendly stores or on airlines. However all dogs should have some training and we are happy to help you and your dog.

I have a flight in a few weeks/months can you help turn my dog into a service dog?

Unfortunately it takes about 1-2 years to train a dog to an acceptable level to travel on an airline. The ACAA states that only fully trained service dogs may be allowed on flights with their disabled handler. We are happy here at Phenomenal Canine to assist in training your dog for a disability through our service dog program.

How much is service dog training?

Service dog training can be as much as $15,000 over the course of 2-3 years. Please inquire within for quotes on pricing for your situation as we may have scholarships or other methods of payment available.
