SERVICE DOG TRAINING
Ruff Translating offers highly technical service dog training, specializing in those looking for multipurpose service dogs with scent marking tasks for oncoming medical episodes.
Our program has grown substantially from our roots focusing on (c)PTSD task-trained service dogs, and we provide a long list of mobility, stability, Autism support, allergy detection, ME support, psychiatric and cardiac tasks regularly. We have grown into having a vibrant community of service dog handlers with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and have carried many of our tasks over into those living with long Covid as well. Ruff Translating’s company values include prioritizing working with individuals on a case by case basis to meet their service dog training needs. We offer programs of a variety of levels of owner involvement, so if you are looking to potentially do some of your own service dog task training, or if you need it fully done by a skilled professional, Ruff Translating can help. Please be sure to read our Service Dog FAQ to learn more about our program! |
While we began with highly trained psychiatric service dogs, we have developed comprehensive service dog training for individuals with other disabilities, including those looking for seizure alert/response, blood sugar detection, POTS, narcolepsy, mobility and stability needs. Our goal is to prepare a dog for any encounter in creative ways. We offer complete comprehensive training for every service dog and even have "class guinea pigs" for training around smaller pets as well as other unique programs meant to prepare our dogs for every occasion they will encounter in their terms as working partners.
