A note from Jayne…

I was launched into this industry through the process of training my own service dog. At the time I was suffering from crippling panic attacks and disassociation that made it hard to leave my own house. It was even hard to get out of bed each morning. Getting a new dog wasn’t an option, so I set about trying to figure out how to train the dog I already had. She was a Boston Terrier who had just turned a year old. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any trainers willing to evaluate or help me train her. Through a lot of digging down google rabbit holes I stumbled across a legitimate academic university that had been founded by THE founder of service dogs. Within n the span of a few weeks was set to move from NYC to CA. I spent 2 years learning the ins and outs of professional service dog breeding, raising, and training and eventually got a puppy to train to be my own service dog. He worked for 2 years before taking an early retirement.

I now offer training & support through my personal training business for those trying to train their own service dogs. If you are an individual who either has a dog already or is planning to get a dog to train as your own service dog, you can click here to learn more about those services.

As part of trying to fill the need for fully trained service dogs I started an organization with my friend & fellow trainer Jordyn Hatfield called Enrichment Canine Service Dogs. ECSD is a soon to be 501©3 not for profit organization that focuses on producing scent based alert dogs and psychiatric service dogs for veterans. You can click here to visit the ECSD website!
