Fully Trained Service Dogs for Sale
One Dog at a Time, Sold Trained
We raise the dog from 8 weeks old, then we train it for each handler’s custom needs for a full 18 months. Two or three dogs a year, trained one at a time. That is the whole operation, and it is meant to stay that way.
A dog is $60,000, and ours are worth every penny.
Quick Takeaways
- PTSD service dogs (ADA compliant): Task-trained for one handler. Deep pressure, behavior interruption, anxiety alerts, crowd buffering.
- Autism service dogs (ADA compliant): Usually placed with a child inside a family. Routine anchoring, buffering, early-signal alerts.
- Therapy dogs: Trained to work with people who aren’t the owner, in facilities, by invitation. No ADA public access.
- Two dogs, two experienced trainers: We train a very small number of dogs per year (2) to be therapy and service dogs.
- The deciding question: Who is the dog working for — you, a child, a room full of strangers, or nobody in particular?
ADA Compliance Is the Floor, Not the Standard
The legal standard is set by the ADA. Under the ADA, a service animal is a dog trained to do one task related to one disability — and that is all. No certificate, no registry, no test.
We go above and beyond just the certification; we ensure that your dog behaves in restaurants, doesn’t pull on your leash, and can even keep a cool head in a large crowd.
We sell a dog that serves you where you need it to, focused on the person it needs to care for. Anywhere, any time, no matter the situation.
The Dog Goes Where Your Life Goes
A bicycle race. A baseball game. The restaurant on the way to the game, and then the game itself.
If you go to bike races on the weekends, training it to behave in that setting is part of the job. Tell us what your weekly schedule looks like, and we train the dog to work with that. That is the difference between a dog that is technically allowed somewhere and a dog you can rely on.
PTSD Service Dogs
Task-trained for one handler — deep pressure therapy (we do high pressure and low pressure), behavior interruption, anxiety alerts, buffering in a crowd.
Autism Service Dogs
Let us know your situation and the age of the handler, and we’ll determine the best fit!
Therapy Dogs
Depending on what sort of therapy you’re looking for, we can determine what sort of certifications and training the dog needs.
You Come Here for a Week
The handler learns the dog. Not a relative, not a friend who is good with animals — you.
After that, our phone stays open for the life of the dog for no additional fee. People call years later for help and advice; that’s what we want. Our clients are family.
Watch the Training Before You Call

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a fully trained service dog?
$60,000. That is the price for all of our custom-trained service dogs.
Can you train a dog I already own?
We might. We have to meet both the client and the dog and thoroughly discuss your specific needs. Mostly, we train Goldens from a top breeder for health and temperament, and we recommend that process.
Do I have to travel to you?
Yes, for a week, to learn your dog. Meeting the dog and understanding how to get it to serve your particular needs is essential for your health and well-being. This cannot be delegated.
