A Trusted Provider of Quality Service Dogs

GET TO KNOW US

We offer a variety of Service Dog Training Programs designed with you in mind and offer benefits unlike any other.

At Highland Canine Training, LLC we provide reliable and affordable service dogs for autism assistance, mobility, seizures, hearing and more.  

We know that a service dog is a major investment of time and valuable resources, and we understand and respect the sacrifices that many families make in order to bring a service dog home.  We do our best to provide the highest quality dogs and value to meet your needs.  The following are just a few ways that we stand out above the rest.

What Makes Us Different

Why choose us

Unmatched Service Dog Programs

You are not required to fundraise for this or any other organization to pay for your autism assistance dog or service dog. 

However, for families who are looking for ways to raise money to help pay for the cost of training a service dog, we are happy to provide a list of funding resources which other families have found helpful.

At the end of the training, the dog belongs to you. We do not retain ownership rights. However, if for some reason something does not work out as expected, we will do our best to make it right, whether that means additional training, or going so far as replacing the dog.

We work hard to guarantee your service dog experience will be successful.

Unbeatable Customer Service

We offer personalized service; you are a part of the process from beginning to end. You are welcome and encouraged to visit our training facilities as often as you would like.

We provide a one-year health guarantee on dogs we select and train. The dog is delivered with at least a one-month supply of any medications or preventatives it will need. This gives you an opportunity to get your feet under you without worrying about getting to the veterinarian immediately.

We offer free phone and email consultations for as long as you own the dog.

Experience You Can Count On!

Our trainers and staff have experience training Search and Rescue Dogs, Police K9 and Military Working Dogs, as well as Service Dogs.  There’s not much we haven’t seen or experienced.  Many of our autism assistance dogs and service dogs are trained in trailing. We rely heavily on our search and rescue and police experience to ensure the dog is going to perform when it matters most.  We are confident in our ability to train high-quality, dependable canine companions; in fact, we operate a school for dog trainers to teach others what we know about training service dogs!
