Service Dog Training

Service Dog Task Training

Welcome to ARF Limits Training! We are passionate about providing personalized service dog task training to enhance your quality of life. Our mission is to match you with a service dog trained to meet your specific needs and support you effectively, grounded in the LIMA (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) philosophy. This approach ensures that your training experience is as compassionate and effective as possible, focusing on what truly works best for you.

How It Works

To get started, we require a $100 non-refundable application fee. This fee helps us ensure that we can focus on serious inquiries and dedicate our resources to crafting a training plan that's just right for you.

Application Details

Our comprehensive application helps us understand your unique situation and how a service dog can best support you. Here’s what we’ll ask:
