Training is an important way to let your dog know what to expect in your home and her everyday travels. This gives her confidence, helps her feel safe and secure, and creates a calm life. Our animal training is based on fulfilling your dog’s basic needs, positive reinforcement, scientific research on patterns, and understanding how emotions, genetics, and previous learning can affect behaviors in each animal.
Balancing your dog’s needs with her L.E.G.S.® will help create a calmer dog whose learning stays with her for life.

A note about Service Animal (SA), Emotional Support Animal (ESA), and Therapy Animal (TA) Training
Please refer to the Americans with Disabilities Act FAQs for information about what the terms above mean, and what your LEGAL rights are for these very specific classifications before you spend your money.
People with disabilities have the right to train their own animal. They are not required to use a professional service dog training program.
If you decide to hire an animal trainer, please be cautious when investing in this training. The dog training industry is not regulated. No education or specialized skills are required to take your money for dog training, so be extra careful in verifying that the candidate you are considering hiring has the needed education, knowledge, and tested skills to teach the behavior chains needed in service dog work, not just certain commands or cues.
While Respectful Communications Animal Training LLC’s lead trainer has been educated and tested on training basic behavior chains and those involving scent work, we do not currently offer Service Dog (SA) Training.
We do, however, offer the AKC Canine Good Citizen training and evaluation that is required for some, but not all, Therapy Animal (TA) programs for dogs taken into hospitals, senior care homes, libraries, etc., for the emotional support benefit of others. The AKC Canine Good Citizen Training and evaluation for Emotional Support Animals and Therapy Animals is offered in our Polite Manners Program.
