Our mission is to help you have a reliable dog who helps mitigate your disabilities, and provides you with the confidence to be independent.
We would love to welcome you to the growing Coastal family!
What We Do
Coastal is an owner-assisted service dog training program where we work with you to help train dogs perform:
- Psychiatric Tasks
- Mobility Tasks
- Medical Alert/Response Tasks
- Or a combination of the above!
How We Do It
We use 3 main training phases.
- Phase 1 is Foundations. This is all about setting you and your dog up for success by making sure the bedrock is solid.
- Phase 2 is Public Access, with the goal of being ready for more advanced behaviors in public.
- Phase 3 is Task Training – this is when we introduce and work on your top two to three tasks.
Raise & Trains can be an amazing option for that critical 3 month socialization and exposure period.
- For the first few months of your puppy’s life, they can live with one of Coastal’s experienced service dog trainers.
- We don’t use amateur puppy-raisers – instead, your puppy lives with your trainer to get an amazing jump-start to their career!

What Clients Say About Coastal
“I’m honored to be a part of this wonderful program.”
I am blessed to be a part of your virtual service dog training program. You did an amazing job picking the right dog for me, by temperament testing at 7 weeks old, and meeting my energy needs by choosing a mellow dog. I’ve benefitted from raising my service dog in training by having a slice of control in my life, by being able to get help from my coastal service dog trainer, Meg, and by being able to choose where I go with my puppy, the pace of training, and deciding who interacts with my puppy. We have bonded on a deep soul level through consistent daily training. As my body is failing, it’s therapeutic for me to have something I CAN control. The first 6 months were intense and exhausting, but I am grateful you have a phenomenal virtual training program for people like me who know how to train a dog, want to start from age 9 weeks, live out of state, but still need the help of a professional trainer for the more nuanced service dog tasks and public access skills. I’m honored to be a part of this wonderful program. Thank you so much! ~ Adele
“It was an amazing experience“
Coastal Service Dogs helped me train my current service dog Jackson. And it was an amazing experience. It was a no brainer to enroll my next service dog prospect into their service dog program. Our trainer, Savannah is a natural with training the dog and their human. She explains the how’s and the why’s of training a service dog prospect. She welcomes questions and concerns. My current service dog in training, Jade, and I continue to grow and bond in our training journey. Savannah is knowledgeable, kind, and has a great personality. I am thankful she understands the challenges I face with my invisible disability. I highly recommend Savannah with Coastal Service Dogs for all your training needs. ~ Caralyn
“Love you all so much!”
“Coastal has an amazing service dog program that has changed our lives. We are so endlessly grateful for all the tools, training, support, patience and love. When I tell you I’d travel halfway around the WORLD, I would without hesitation to have this team work with my dog. I still can’t believe the fate of coming across their page, and how quickly they got back to me and got this process started. Love you all so much!” ~ Meghan
