Avoiding Common Pitfalls
Searching for a service dog online can be overwhelming. With countless breeders and promises that sound too good to be true, it’s easy to end up with a poorly trained dog—or worse, one that isn’t fit for service at all. What you need is transparency, experience, and proof of results. That’s exactly what we provide.
With thousands of photos, videos, and documented outcomes, we back every claim with visible, real-life results.
Why Off-Leash Obedience Matters
Your dog should be more than trained—it should be trustworthy. Our dogs are trained to be off-leash obedient in unpredictable environments. That kind of freedom and control doesn’t just happen. It takes careful selection, behavioral expertise, and months of training.
When your safety and peace of mind are on the line, we deliver dogs that are calm, stable, and intelligent enough to respond without a leash, even during high-stress moments.
You Probably Don't Qualify For Charity
Service Dog School of America is here to help you get a service dog perfect for you.
Service Dog School of America provides fully-trained psychiatric and medical service dogs for individuals who need a finished, reliable working dog. We do not train customer-owned dogs, we do not run group classes, and we do not require owner participation in training. Every dog is trained by us from start to finish and placed only when the work is complete.
Our program focuses exclusively on psychiatric and medical service dogs. Training commonly includes support for PTSD, anxiety and panic disorders, autism, neurological conditions, emotional regulation, grounding tasks, interruption of harmful or compulsive behaviors, and deep-pressure therapy. We do not train diabetic alert dogs.
All training is conducted in real public environments rather than controlled classrooms alone. Dogs are conditioned to remain calm and responsive in crowds, during travel, and around everyday distractions. Obedience is taught to a standard that allows the dog to work reliably on or off leash, without pulling, reactivity, or dependence on physical restraint.
We train Golden Retrievers only. Dogs are selected for stable temperament, low reactivity, emotional resilience, and strong human focus. Breed selection is deliberate and central to producing service dogs that are dependable over the long term.
Unlike many programs that operate on multi-year waitlists, our dogs are trained continuously. When a dog is available, it is already fully trained and ready for placement. We do not promise future dogs or unfinished training.
Placement is not the end of the relationship. We provide lifetime access to professional support from the trainers who developed the dog. Support is direct and ongoing, not outsourced to call centers or third-party services.
Every placement is backed by a one hundred percent money-back satisfaction guarantee. If a dog is not the right fit, we address it directly.
This program is designed for individuals who need a completed service dog, do not qualify for charity programs, and value reliability, discretion, and time. What we provide is not a pet, a class, or a process. It is a fully-trained service dog developed over twelve to sixteen months and ready to work.
