About Us

Since 2015, BlackRidge Service Dogs have been training Service Dogs, Emotional Support Dogs (home tasks to help primary care givers or people feeling isolated), and Therapy Dogs. This is a community based project creating partnerships between people, dogs, breeders, training centers, fosters,  and local businesses.

We offer 1:1 help, with instructors and coaches that have nursing, counselling, and coaching experience. Our goal  is to help place the right dog, in the right home, without causing hardship or distress with our clients. 

We also work with people who want to have help from their dog. Whether it is an in home task to give comfort or a sense of security to someone, or a dog to assist in public.  Not  all dogs will succeed in our program, but we offer support and assistance to those who need it. 

Our community and volunteers take part of the financial burden. We are not a not-for-profit but we do pass on the benefits and reduced cost to our clients.

All of our services are provided in a 1:1 atmosphere including personalized training, extensive post-graduation support, financial assistance, and breeder recommendations, when needed.

 We specialize in Psychological service dogs and alert dogs.

Back to 1914

Suzanne had been training working dogs for 40 years. She became aware of the need for solid temperament, dogs to help people regain their freedom. John introduced Springer Spaniels to the mix

The Next Big Step

Suzanne been associate certified with the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants, using her psychology and coaching education to bring more understanding to canine behavior, and expanding the skills needed to breed and raise better service dogs

The future looks great!

We at blackridge started to study under the top service dog organizations in the USA, taking the best we could learn and applying it to our puppy rearing and coahing methods, developing a new cognitive method of raising and teaching dogs.  Our partner breeders and trainers are the best, and they have made BlackRidge a reputable provider with a solid future.
