My Nonprofit Reviews

I am a professionally certified assistance dog instructor, graduated from Bergin University of Canine Studies and hold my CPDT-KA. I have been working with both program and owner-trained service dogs for 16 years and have personally raised and trained 14 different dogs.

I received my first B.E.S.T bred puppy in 2021, and brought two other of her littermates home to clients. These three puppies are, without question, some of the best service dog prospects I have ever had the pleasure to work with! They are resilient and driven, but have the right balance of low energy and emotional softness as well. It's hard for me to describe my "ideal" service dog prospect, but all of the labs I've met through Jan's program fit exactly what I want.

I've also had the pleasure to work with Jan during whelpings and raisings of her puppies. She is an excellent caregiver and knowledgeable and skilled in helping her dogs have smooth sailings during their pregnancies and puppy rearing.

I highly recommend B.E.S.T for anyone searching for a service dog prospect, whether they are an owner-trainer or work through a program!
