ON SITE OR VIRTUAL (CASE-DEPENDENT)
We offer two types of service dog testing:
WHY WOULD I WANT THIS?
While testing is not required by the ADA, objective tests can give you goals to train towards and verification that your service dog is meeting community standards and training milestones.
Having a trainer assess your service dog’s skills in an objective Public Access Test can help you feel confident that your dog is ready to be called a fully-trained service dog. Laura can administer both a public access test or pre-test to see what areas your team should continue working on. Completed evaluation and notes are provided to handler upon completion.
While Laura is located primarily in Connecticut, she travels frequently across the US. She is also able to do livestream evaluations in certain cases. Inquire below for details.

PATREON REVIEWS
"Online training with DOGGY•U has been so effective for my service dog and I!
When I started service dog coaching with Laura I had done a lot of training myself but I was stuck and struggling on a couple of things, and needed someone with experience to help. Laura's coaching has been instrumental in our training progress both with our public access and task training, but also as we prepare for our first flight together.
Laura is excellent at breaking down training exercises into small pieces so that both Des and I can be successful. I can’t believe how much our relationship and training has improved. The other day I only had to cue my service dog once to stay by my side, and he did while I walked all over campus! Contrast that with the near constant tension I had on the leash before I started working with Laura. He also lay silently throughout my classes, something that he previously struggled with, and Laura helped me work on, with great success!
My service dog is better than any therapy or medical intervention I have tried before and I’m so grateful for Laura’s coaching.”
