Our Dogs
A.C.T.S. trains service dogs and facility therapy dogs. Service dogs are placed with individuals that are confined to a manual or electric wheel chair or scooter. Facility therapy dogs are placed with professionals who work with populations that may benefit from animal assisted therapy such as: teachers, school counselors, therapists, psychiatrists, psychologists, ministers, social workers, and family court professionals.

We start with puppies at around eight weeks of age, take them out for socialization, do obedience training, and work on task training. To learn more about the training process, click here. To see pictures of our current puppies in training, click here.
Service dog training can take anywhere from two, to two and half years. Once the training is complete, we match our dogs with a client based on the client's needs, personality and lifestyle. We also consider the dog's personality and strengths during the matching process. To see pictures of our graduates, click here.

Occasionally, dogs do not have what it takes to be a service dog. We try to find jobs for all our dogs but there are occasions where we can not place and dog and we have to release them out of the program. To learn more about our Dream Dogs, click here.
