Do You Allow Tools In Your Program?

Yes! We welcome most training tools, including prong collars, e-collars, martingales, and flat collars. However, we do not allow choke chains, Easy Walk harnesses, or e-collar brands other than Mini Educator or Dogtra.

Who Can Have a Service Dog?

Anyone with a legally defined disability including mobility, medical, or psychiatric conditions. To ensure full legal access rights, individuals must hold a supporting letter or note from a regulated healthcare professional.

How will it take for my dog to be a Service Dog and Do you allow all Breeds?

Training Timeline: On average, it takes 2 to 3 years to fully train a puppy under a year old, though some can finish in about 18 months. For older dogs, it typically takes 1 to 1.5 years depending on their baseline training, socialization, and history. Breed Policy: We have zero breed restrictions. All purebred and mixed-breed dogs are fully welcome to participate in our owner-training program.

Do you Place Service Dogs?

While our applications for direct dog placements are currently closed, we can support your journey in other ways. We can help train your personal dog to become a service dog, provide continued training for your current service dog, or assist you in finding and temperament-testing a puppy that best suits your needs.

Do you provide certification for Service Dogs?

Yes. All teams that graduate from A Helping Paw Services receive official certification through our company. We provide the complete paperwork and documentation required for air travel, riding VIA Rail, and school attendance with your service dog. Note: While we provide official program credentials, please be aware that there is no federal, government-managed service dog certification system in Canada.

What Kind of Therapy animals do you Offer?

We currently offer therapy visits with our wonderful dogs and cats! Every animal is fully certified through our program at A Helping Paw Services, and they absolutely love bringing joy and smiles to everyone they visit.

Do You Only have Dogs and Cats?

Yes. At this time, we only offer therapy dogs and cats, but we plan to expand our services to include other animals in the future.

What locations are Therapy Animals often used in?

Therapy animals frequently visit schools, hospitals, nursing homes, retirement facilities, hospice centers, and funerals or celebration of life services.

Can a handler bring more than one animal to a visit?

This depends heavily on the visit space and the specific therapy animals. While rare exceptions may allow a handler to bring two animals, the standard policy is one therapy animal per handler. This ensures the handler can prioritize safety and easily monitor their animal for any signs of stress.

Are handlers required to keep the animal on a leash or harness at all times?

Yes. Therapy animals must remain securely attached to their handler via a leash or harness at all times to ensure the safety of both the animal and the clients we visit.
