Service Dog & ESD Training Program

Imagine the Independence a Service Dog Can Give You

No more limitations. No more settling for less. A properly trained service dog can empower you in ways you might not have thought possible—giving you freedom, confidence, support and peace of mind.

At Mid-Michigan K9 Academy, our Service Dogs program goes far beyond obedience. We train your dog (or a new dog) to perform life-changing tasks, behave confidently in public, and adapt to your world. You’re not just getting a dog—you’re gaining a partner.

  • Task-Trained Skills. Recognize triggers, provide calming support, assist with daily challenges.
  • Public Access Ready. Reliable behavior in airports, restaurants, stores, and events.
  • Customized Training Plan. Tailored to your needs—PTSD, mobility, emotional support, and more.
  • Life-Long Partnership. Ongoing support, certification guidance, and a relationship built to last.

Who It’s For / Who It’s Not For
