Good Dog! Autism Companions was founded by parents of a child experiencing autism. So, we truly understand the kinds of challenges each autism family can face. Over the years, we have created an amazing support community of Good Dog families, dog trainers, and autism professionals whose caring relationships make us proud to serve everyday.
We know that for each child and family living with autism, individual circumstances can be very different, that's why we consider each based on their specific needs. We custom match each service dog to his/her family and train both dogs and people accordingly.
Our dogs are intelligent, emotional beings, so we useonly positive re-enforcement training methods for them as taught by Bonnie Bergin at Bergin University of Canine Studies. Good Dog! is anADI (Assistance Dog International)member candidate and we follow ADI standards and guidelines for all aspects of our program. To help autism families who are interested in service dogs get more information, we provide a no-obligation, private introductory free phone chat with our director.
All gifts are received with the greatest of gratitude. Good Dog! is a 501(c) (3) tax exempt non-profit. EIN number #45-2627922
