Our Commitment
At Hamptons Service dogs our ethical psychiatric service dog training program is rooted in compassion, science, and respect… for both dogs and the people who rely on them for support. Our methods strengthen the bond between client and dog through trust, clear communication, and positive reinforcement.
Dogs and puppies of all ages and sizes are taught how to confidently and calmly navigate all public settings. Training is individualized and you actively participate in your dog’s learning process cumulating in an ADA-compliant, fully recognized service dog… allowing you to take your well behaved dog, on leash, to all public and private locations (interior and exterior), including restaurants, shops, hotels, school, doctors appointments, hospitals, beaches, on jitneys, and on commercial airlines domestic and overseas (at no extra charge).
Psychiatric service dogs assist individuals with psychiatric disabilities such as PTSD, severe depression, anxiety disorders, EBSA and more, by performing specific tasks like interrupting panic attacks or providing deep pressure therapy. These tasks help mitigate the disability, and such animals are recognized as full “service dogs” under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) (They are not merely “emotional support animals”).
We welcome clients who are not in need of service dog certification but just want to transform their best friend into a well mannered canine companion.
