History
Our beginnings are deeply personal ... The Teacher's Pet started as a result of our family's need for a highly specialized service dog when my husband was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's at 38 yrs old (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS). Frustrated with the inability to find a service dog that could meet his extreme needs quickly, we embarked on training our own. Cooper came into our lives in 2006 and was an able-bodied service animal by 8 months old... he continues to still be a blessing to our family. In the community, he has also become a role model for what a service dog should be. Since that time, we have trained nearly 3000 dogs (a combination of service/therapy/companion). We are proud to have dogs in the school system with school psychologists helping children with special needs as well as strengthening our community thru the gifts of increased independence and confidence to those with challenges.
