These service dogs offer veterans a renewed sense of hope and healing, while the dogs themselves find loving, forever homes.

Every dollar you contribute helps us train and care for these dogs, ensuring they can make a life-changing difference for a veteran in need. Together, we can save lives two at a time.

Testimonial
Graham Bloem, matched me with the perfect service dog for my needs.
14 years ago, Graham trained my first service dog, Shayna, to match my medical needs. She and I were partners in life for 12 plus years. Through this time, she and I received ongoing training and support to ensure that my skills as a handler and her obedience were on point. As new medical needs arose over the decade, Graham and his team trained Shayna for additional tasks to support me. This ongoing relationship between Graham, his trainers, myself and Shayna was absolutely priceless. Sadly, she passed away in 2022.
In 2023, I reached out to Graham once again knowing I would receive ongoing support, training and guidance for the life of my next service dog. Graham conducted a detailed personal interview to assess my present medical needs, my home life and my work life. This personalized approach, matching process, high level of training and execution from Specialty Dog Training matched me with the perfect service dog for my needs. Rocky, a very handsome black lab with a giant heart, completed an 18 month training program preparing him in advanced obedience, public access manners and tasks that support my daily needs. He passed his CGC (Canine Good Citizen Exam) with flying colors, performed his PAT (Public Access Test) beautifully and demonstrated his task cues without a hiccup.
Graham and his team, for many months, provided detailed one-on-one handler training while helping me build a special bond with Rocky. The training guided me through all of Rocky's commands and how to best reinforce them and ultimately prepared him and I for our life together. The transfer of Rocky from the team to me made me feel so supported. Working together reminded me of why I returned to Graham Bloem and his team at Specialty Dog Training for my second service dog.
With deep gratitude, I thank Graham and everyone at Specialty Dog Training for the unconditional love and support,
Karen and Rocky Baskin
