Service Dog Training
Mad 4 My Dog is now offering a Service Dog Training program! Be prepared to take on the commitment, dedication, and time it takes! It may require 6-18 months to get to where you must be with your dog for full Service Dog status.
Madalyn is now a Certified Service Dog Coach and can work with you every step of the way from no training at all to a totally trained service dog with public access. Below you will see the requirements we have put in place for you and your dog to get there.
