YOU’RE NOT ALONE
Feeling Overwhelmed or Unsure Where to Start?
If This Feels Like You, You’re in the Right Place
I don’t even know where to start.
I don’t know if my dog is actually a good fit.
What if I choose the wrong dog and waste time, money, and energy?
What if my symptoms make it hard to keep up?
I’ve tried other things… I need this to actually work.
I can’t afford a fully trained service dog — so what are my options?
You’re not behind.
You’re not doing this wrong.
You just haven’t been given a clear path yet.

A dog that actively supports your needs
A clear plan instead of constant second-guessing
This isn’t about perfection.

WHAT YOU’LL TRAIN
What We Help You Build
A service dog isn’t just trained — it’s developed through the right progression of skills.
We focus on the core areas that create a reliable, working partner in real life.
The quiz helps you identify where to start based on your dog, your goals, and your situation.
🐶Dog Selection & Suitability
Helping you choose the right dog — or confidently determine if your current dog has the potential for service work, so you don’t waste time, money, or energy going down the wrong path.
🧠 Alert & Task Training
Teaching your dog to recognize and respond to your needs through alert behaviors, retrieval, pressure therapy, and more — so your dog can reliably support you when it matters most.
🌍 Public Access Training
Helping your dog stay calm, focused, and reliable in real-world environments — so you can move through public spaces with confidence instead of stress.
🤝 Guidance & Ongoing Support
Providing structure, coaching, and support so you always know what to do next — with a clear path toward ACE Certification after completing Public Access and Task Testing.
WHY THIS WORKS
Why This Works When Other Programs Don’t
Most programs give you information. This gives you a clear path and real support.
30+ years of professional experience (est. 1995) — not a new or untested program, but a system built on decades of real-world results
We don’t use a one-size-fits-all method — your dog isn’t forced into a rigid system that doesn’t work
Evaluation-first approach — we prioritize the right dog and the right plan, not just enrolling you into a program
Specialized in medical alert and service dog work — including diabetes, seizures, POTS, migraines, PTSD, Crohn’s, and more
ACE Certification path — earn documented proof of training after completing Public Access and Task Testing
Coaching + structure, not just content — you’re supported every step of the way, not left to figure it out alone
Built for real life — flexible pacing designed for people managing chronic illness, not rigid schedules
Family-owned, multi-generational training business — built on trust, relationships, and long-term client success
Get matched to the right starting point — without guesswork.

5-star Service Dog Training Reviews
Incredible! My 7yr old has learned about how to train and work with her service dog and he has been the best dog behaved dog. All of Andrea's dogs are this way. She is so good with the handler and the dog and gives you real help!! Like normal everyday living type experience. She has been amazing and easy to schedule with as well. We highly recommend her!
My Great Dane puppy is in training to be a Diabetes Alert Dog. Andrea is our trainer and she is Amazing! We have only been training a few months and my puppy (just turned 10 months) has alerted me 3 times that my blood sugars were low! I am an artist and she is currently learning to sit patiently on her bed next to where I paint. I am very happy at A Canine Experience and would highly recommend them!
