Best for
Handlers who need a highly reliable, publicly-neutral working dog.
The Complete Service Dog Program is a specialized three-month Board & Train combined with weekly handler training. For every week your dog trains with Kynos, you receive a private one-hour session — because a service dog is only as effective as the handler working it.
The goal is to continuously transfer the training to you so you and your dog operate as a reliable team in the real world, not just in a training environment.
Training may include
- Advanced Obedience
- Public Access Skills
- Environmental Neutrality
- High-Distraction Reliability
- Confidence
- Real-World Training
- Customized Task Work
- Handler-Specific Skills
Out-of-area clients
We work with handlers who travel to Kynos from outside Southern California. Owner training can be customized around your location, travel schedule, and individual circumstances so you still get the weekly handler coaching the program is built on.
An honest note
Not every dog is suited to service work. Every dog is evaluated for temperament and suitability before entering the program, and we won't claim a dog qualifies when it doesn't.
