Service Dog Training in Raleigh NC

Helping Canines Transform Lives Through Professional Dog Training

Purposeful Dog Training

Service dog training prepares dogs to assist individuals with physical, psychiatric, or emotional challenges. At RP K9 Academy, our programs are built around the unique bond between a dog and its handler, empowering service dogs to perform specific tasks that enhance independence and improve quality of life.

Whether you're seeking a mobility service dog, psychiatric service animal, or therapy dog to support you in everyday life, our training is designed to meet the standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Through structured programs, we ensure each dog is trained to assist with confidence, reliability, and compassion.

Service Dog Training

What’s Included in

Our Service Dog Training Program

Task-Based Dog Training Programs Designed for Real Needs

Each service dog training program is tailored to the specific needs of the handler. Dogs are trained to perform a variety of tasks, such as medical alerts, mobility support, retrieving objects, deep pressure therapy, or responding to psychiatric episodes. We work with people with disabilities to make sure their dog training goals are met.

Canine Obedience & Public Access Readiness

Every service dog must be well-behaved in public. Our programs include advanced obedience, leash manners, distraction-proofing, and socialization. Dogs are trained to maintain focus in grocery stores, public transportation, nursing homes, or any other busy environment in Raleigh NC.

Mobility and Psychiatric Support Dog Training

We offer service dog training in Raleigh that includes dogs trained to assist with walking, stability, and balance support. Psychiatric service dogs are also taught to help with panic attacks, PTSD symptoms, and emotional regulation through task-based behavior.

Therapy Dog and Emotional Support Preparation

If you're interested in therapy dog training for animal-assisted programs or visiting therapy teams, we provide foundational obedience and public interaction skills. While emotional support animals (ESAs) are not ADA-protected service animals, our trainer ensures these dogs meet high standards of behavior.

Continued Support and Handler Education

Dog training doesn’t stop after certification. We provide follow-up sessions, refresher training, and ongoing handler support to ensure the dog and handler continue to succeed in real-world settings. Our trainer works closely with each team to provide lasting results.
