Our Service Dog Training program is extensive. With over 13 years experience working with Service Dogs we can provide specific training for many disabilities. Our program consists of appointments in our Service Dog Group class, individual sessions, and virtual appointments.
We train the disabled and their service dogs for:
More involved training could require a session daily. Most will only need 1-2 sessions per week. If the dog is young you may only need a session once every two weeks. Pricing for Service Dog Training depends on the level of training needed. But are usually paid on a monthly basis at a rate of $300 for 1 session per week or every forth completed appointment. We highly suggest you keep track of your appointments. We do keep detailed records of these appointments, however it is time consuming to have to go back in our records to provide information on previous weeks and months appointments. If necessary to do so it could be charged as a training appointment.
Upon signing up for the long term training program we require a deposit of half of the final months training to be paid at on the first month. This deposit is $150 paid on the first month is deducted from the last month's fees. Leaving the final month to be $150. This is a deposit for purposes of completing a set period of time in training with CSD as is suggested in industry standards. A required 3 months minimum is set in place. This means to apply the deposit to your final month your must complete at least 3 months with CSD. If you cancel the program prior to 3 months you forfeit this deposit.
Tasks, work, and assistance a service dog can learn many ways in which to assist an individual with a disability. Some service dog provider organizations tailor training of each dog to each potential partner, while others may train all dogs with the same skill set and partner their dogs only with a specific group of individuals whose disabilities may be assisted by those skills. Owner-trainers generally train their own service dogs to perform work or to do tasks which aid directly with their own disabilities. Canine Solutions Dallas provides training for the service dog team going through the training process themselves. This cuts out a significant amount of time necessary for transfer of the dog from home to home. As well as the dog needing to learn a new person all over again. Tasks are utilized at a much earlier age. The team is better prepared for outside distractions together.
Psychiatric service dogs.
Psychiatric Service Dogs are task trained service dogs recognized by the ADA as a Service Dog used for a disability. This is often the one type of service dog status that is often abused by members of the general public that are training to book flights with their dog for free, or take their dog into public locations with them. Psychiatric disabilities are invisible and thus cannot be characterized by the naked eye. However, these service dogs are very much the life line of their handlers. One list of potential tasks a service dog might be trained to perform to assist an individual with a psychiatric disability includes the following:
- Personal in Home Training Sessions
- Group Obedience Classes

Board and Train: Your experience at Charlie Bear’s Dog House with Canine Solutions Dallas will be very personal and catered to what you want. I am a Positive Reinforcement Trainer my goal is to help strengthen you and your pups relationship. I also give you the tools to continue your dogs obedience at home with a video and helpful tips and tricks! We reward your dog for making good choices and for polite behavior. Through repetition and consistant rewarding, your dog will understand what is expected of them in any situation. Once your pup has a firm understanding of the cues and behaviors they have learned we expect more fluency and reward as such.
Many pet owners with demanding schedules appreciate this option: a training program in which your dog stays with the trainer in her home. Our pampered pup program is unparalleled -unlike a kennel, we only accept a few dogs for training at one time ensuring that your dog receives the attention he/she deserves. Staying in a home environment is exactly what sets our board/train program apart from all others. Kennels can be very stressful- dogs in kennels can easily spend most of their time in a concrete dog run with time out just for short play or training sessions. High stress can be very detrimental to your dog's health as it comprises their immune system and can make learning very difficult.
We can design a specific training program to fit you and your dog's individual needs. Unlike other board/train camps we offer not only beginner and advanced training, but also a special behavior adjustment option which focuses on specific issues you may be experiencing with your pup. Achieving better interaction with children and family members, teaching social skills in relation to other dogs and animals, housebreaking for the older or shelter dog are just a few examples of different problems we can help you with on a customized board and train program. We also board and train our Service Dog’s while their families are away and they need to maintain their training.
Valerie, Keisha and Charlie Bear recently moved to a much larger ranch style home to accommodate a training room dedicated to training only, and to give the boarders their own space if necessary. It is a highly therapeutic and harmonious environment for dogs; it is one of the many factors which contribute to the success of Canine Solutions Dallas’ board and train program.
Although Valerie, Keisha, Kim, and Mike are the primary people who will handle, train or feed your dog, we do make sure that your dog meets alot of different people in social settings and learns how to have good manners at all times. Your dog will go on field trips with Keisha - shopping, visits to pet friendly stores, walking on nature parks or just out on errands and of course walks down the road around the lake. These types of trips teach your dog how to be a well mannered canine citizen in a variety of places and situations.
TWO WEEK BEGINNER PROGRAM:
The board and train program includes one follow up private lesson to review what has been learned. This lesson takes place following the training and takes place either in your home, or at my classroom location-depending on where you are located.
During this 14-16 day visit your dog will learn the basic commands of loose Leash walking, sit, down, stay on a place, and come. We will also work to address behavioral problems such as barking, jumping, mouthing, chewing , nipping and stealing- just to name a few!
The private lesson is essential to ensure that the continuum of learning remains the consistent from one home to the other.
The entire family is welcome to participate in all phases of your dog's training. Consistency is the goal...and the hallmark of training that lasts!
Fee is $1400.00 and includes the post training lesson as well as pick up and drop off within our travel areas. There will be a discount assessed on any board and train longer than 14 days. A signed waiver is required to ensure we have permission to take your dog to the veterinarian in case of any emergencies. Payment is due in full upon on the first day of their board and train program.
