BREEDINGOur main goal here at B.E.S.T. Service Dogs is to breed the best, healthiest Labrador Retrievers to have the best chance as successful service dogs. We health test each and every dog to maintain the healthiest dogs and puppies possible. We currently have two litters per year and most puppies go into service dog training for autism and PTSD.

EDUCATIONWith our organization’s mission always in mind, we strive to find new strategies for sharing recent research. The positive effects of a service dog is something that we take very seriously and we work each and every day to educate the community on the benefits, challenges and regulation of service dogs. We follow the standards set through Bergin College of Canine Studies, a cutting edge educational experience along with the guidelines set by the International Association of Assistance Dog Partners (IAADP).

SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITYWe have a special place in our hearts for children with autism and veterans with PTSD. We know first hand the struggles those individuals face.
Service dogs are life-changing for children with autism and veterans with PTSD. From fewer melt-downs and reduced anxiety, to companionship and stability—the benefits are overwhelming. That’s why we work so hard to teach parents and veterans about how a dog can make a difference and how to get a service dog. We work with organizations like Joyful Paws Service Dogs an organization dedicated to providing training to those on the autism spectrum, and Paws for Purple Hearts, a non-profit organization that provides service dogs for active and veteran warriors. We are also working with a Sacramento VFW Service Dog training program that trains veterans to train their own dogs. |

THERAPY AND TRAININGAlong with breeding, we offer basic obedience classes, individual service dog training and therapy dog training.
Canine Good Citizen Training and Testing B.E.S.T Service Dogs provides obedience training for those who need extra help. We use only positive training methods established by Dr. Bonita Bergin of Bergin College of Canine Studies. Puppies and dogs are trained to the American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen standard. This standard comes in the form of a test and certificate from the AKC. Passing this test is a prerequisite for many therapy dog groups, and a beginning foundation for further training as a service dog. Owner trained service dogs is a service we offer for those who wish to train their own dog to Assistance Dog International Standards. This process can take from 1-2 years to complete. Contact us for more information. |
