Dogs by Jax proudly offers specialized training for service dogs to assist individuals with disabilities. Our training is tailored to meet the unique needs of each handler-dog team, with a strong focus on functionality, reliability, and partnership.
If you're considering a service dog, we encourage you to first review the guidelines provided by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to understand who qualifies and what tasks service dogs are permitted to perform.
Areas of Training Offered:

If you believe a service dog could be the right fit for your needs, please reach out to discuss your situation. We're here to answer your questions and help you explore the path forward.
Selecting the right service dog candidate is a crucial first step- and I’m here to help. I offer professional temperament testing for individual puppies or entire litters, can communicate directly with breeders on your behalf, and guide you through the process of finding a dog with the potential to become your future helper and partner.
Raising a young puppy can be overwhelming- but you don’t have to do it alone. I offer professional puppy raising services to build a solid foundation in obedience, socialization, and routine. When you're ready, I’ll guide you through a smooth transition, helping your pup integrate seamlessly into your home and daily life.
Once your prospect has a strong foundation in socialization and basic skills, we can begin focused task training and public access work. I’ll guide you through real-world practice in both dog-friendly and non-pet-friendly environments, preparing your service dog for the challenges and responsibilities of daily life.
Hello all! Meet Gamble. He is the newest addition to the Dogs By Jax crew!
Gamble was brought home at 7 months old and will be staying with me for several months training as a service dog prospect. Once he is in a great place with his training I will put feelers out to find him his working partner. Right now, he’s just working on being a puppy!
Gamble is a sweet, curious, and goofy guy who loves to please and eat snacks. I have high hopes for this dude and I hope you’ll stick around to see his progress!
