Service Dogs for Sale in California | Service Dog School of America
Service Dog School of America is not your average service dog provider. We’ve been training dogs—and changing lives—since 1998. If you’re in California and looking for a fully-trained, off-leash obedient, ADA-compliant psychiatric or medical service dog, you’re in the right place. We deliver life-ready service dogs that meet the highest standards in the industry, with a 100% money-back guarantee to prove it.
Why People in California Choose Us
California has it all—big cities, crowded streets, high stress, and everything in between. And for that reason, you don’t want just any dog—you want the right one. Our dogs aren’t trained in a vacuum. They’re trained in the real world, for the real world.
Here’s what sets us apart:
✅ 100% Money-Back Guarantee
We’re the only service dog company in the nation with a full money-back guarantee. If the dog isn’t everything we promised, you don’t keep it—and you don’t lose your money. No excuses. No fine print.
✅ Off-Leash Obedience
Our dogs are off-leash obedient. Not just in your backyard—but in public, at the airport, at the store. No leashes, no tension. They listen because they respect you. This is what real service dog training looks like.
✅ Golden Retrievers Only
We used to train every breed. German Shepherds, Labs, Doodles—you name it. After training thousands of dogs, we realized Golden Retrievers are the only breed we can consistently trust to deliver what our clients need. They’re stable, affectionate, calm, and willing. They’re the right tool for the job.
✅ No Waitlists
We don’t make you wait 3 to 10 years to get a dog that might not even work out. We have dogs in training right now. When you call us, we talk timelines, not theories.
✅ Real Public Training
We train our dogs around crowds, traffic, children, noise, wheelchairs, loudspeakers, and chaos. You won’t be the first person to see how your dog handles the world—we already know.
✅ 12 to 16 Months of Training
We don’t do shortcuts. Every one of our service dogs is trained over the course of a year or longer, from puppy to placement. That’s the only way to get a dog you can trust with your life.
✅ Nationwide Delivery
Wherever you are in California—from Los Angeles to Palo Alto, San Diego to Sacramento, Santa Cruz to Santa Barbara—we can place your dog in person or welcome you to Dog Answers Ranch for a personal delivery and handoff.
✅ Experience
We’ve been doing this for 27 years. We know what works and what doesn’t. And we never stop improving.
