Canine Companions North Central Training Center

Canine Companions for independence North Central Training Center treats people right. They do a good job with the dogs, too. Of the 3 regional offices we have worked with at Canine Companions, the staff has the welcoming attitude we prefer. Not throwing shade on the other regions, but there’s a reason staff here has tenure lasting decades. Best service dogs on the planet and all provided free to the recipients. Fantastic community to belong to.

This place is amazing, Jennifer. You need to stop trying to make it a big deal. That your child was disrespected . I've been disrespected a lot. Yes, it was wrong for the staff to laugh at your child's disability. But I believe that's not the only time He will be disrespected. Because of his disability. Canine Companions is the best. Thank you so much for your help and the love you have on dogs and us. I appreciate it and hope to see you grow and blossom into an amazing organization.

I feel that this company is more geared towards placing facility dogs with professional individuals. I do, however, feel that when it comes to disabled people, they prefer certain demographics. I also feel this organization lacks compassion and appropriate staff members for certain roles. My child went through the entire application process and was even accepted onto the wait list. But due to the unprofessionalism and judgment we received when we sat down for our one on one interview, we were scared away. The staff member even found amusement in my child's disability and laughed at him. We did email a very detailed description of the whole interaction back when we were accepted. Describing the conversation, interaction, and how we felt. Including that we thought this program wasn't meant f

False advertising on the ADI website about who they provide service dogs for. Also, why do they not provide service dogs to adults with autism or civilians with PTSD? You know that adults can still be disabled by their autism and that not only veterans have PTSD right??? Very unethical and unprofessional.

Amazing new facility for an amazing program. So happy for the staff and families that will benefit from this awesome work.
