Service/ Therapy Dog Training

Welcome to Behavior Plus, your trusted source for personalized service dog training. Whether you need a dog trained for a specific disability or want to turn your own dog into a life-changing partner, we’re here to help you build a strong, successful handler-dog team.
Who We Help

Children & Families
We specialize in working with families of children who need additional support. Whether it’s a child with autism, anxiety, or another condition, our service dogs are trained to provide calm companionship, safety cues, and task-based assistance—right in your home and in public.

Adults Seeking Greater Independence
For adults navigating daily life with PTSD, diabetes, mobility challenges, or other disabilities, our training helps build reliable dog/handler partnerships that improve safety, reduce stress, and increase self-sufficiency.

Rescue & Shelter Dogs with Potential
We’re proud to train dogs from local shelters, giving these animals a second chance to become life-changing companions. After completing our training, these dogs are matched with individuals in need—offering support, loyalty, and purpose.
This inclusive approach allows us to change two lives at once—both human and canine
How We Train
At Behavior Plus, we believe that service dog training should be as unique as the individuals we support. Our training methods are based on a personalized, real-world approach that prepares dogs to confidently assist their handlers in everyday life.
Every training plan includes:
Teaching dogs to remain calm, obedient, and focused in stores, restaurants, and other high-distraction areas.
We train dogs for specific, individualized tasks designed to support your daily life—whether that’s alerting, grounding, bracing, or retrieving.
Reinforcing impulse control, focus, and responsiveness through consistent obedience and environmental exposure.
Dogs are trained in a variety of public spaces to build confidence and focus. This helps them stay calm and responsive in real-life situations.

Service Dogs Trained for a Range of Disabilities
Our dogs are trained to assist people living with:
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Our service dogs help individuals with autism by offering safety, consistency, and emotional regulation. Tasks may include interrupting repetitive behaviors, applying deep pressure therapy during meltdowns, preventing elopement, and providing routine-based support to reduce anxiety in unfamiliar environments.
