The **Service Dog Training & Social Integration** is an intensive 6-month course preparing dogs and handlers for advanced situational training, AKC CGC, emotional support, and therapy dog preparedness. **Confidence & Social Immersion Training** offers group classes focused on improving a dog’s ability to confidently navigate public environments through group movement, equipment training, and basic obedience. Additionally, they offer **Consulting Sessions** for problem assessment and guidance, and facilitate the **AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Test**. Many programs also offer online training via Zoom.

“Darcy and Scott are amazing dog trainers! I can’t stress this enough. I’ve been with them for almost 6 years now with my German Shepherd. They’ve helped us immensely; my dog is so much better behaved, and they‘ve helped me become a better dog handler. We’ve been through several of the training programs that they offer, including emotional support dog training. My dog loves going! She loves being able to socialize with other dogs, and it keeps our bond strong. We love Dog 2 Dog so much! I’m so happy I found them!”
– Mccall M.
“We’ve had 3 dogs, each with their own issues and quirks. I love how the trainers can take their standard trainings and tweak them to fit our special issues. Our dogs are more comfortable, happier, and better behaved because of Dog 2 Dog. Thank you from our family, both four legged and two legged.”
– Marakina W.
