The In-Home Interview

A trainer and a dog-in-training come to you for a 90-minute working session — not a sales visit. We see your home, your routines, and your other animals the way a working dog will. You handle a trained dog and experience the methodology in reality, not theory. Required for Premier; recommended for everyone.

Two ways in, by geography

Where Are You?

Phoenix metro & nearby

We drive to you

Pick a time that works and we bring the session to your door — 90 minutes at your home, plus our prep beforehand so the visit is about your family, not paperwork. You’ll see how a trained dog moves through your actual rooms, and your other pets and family members get their say too.

Scheduling and payment happen when you book your time.

We fly to you

Out-of-state interviews run as a Friday-to-Sunday visit, and it’s deliberately a two-way vetting: we evaluate you, your needs, your environment, and your other animals — and you interview us, handle a working or retired dog, and experience the methodology in reality, not theory. A small step before the big commitment.

Travel costs vary by where you are, so it starts with a quick planning call and a short form — flights, stay, and drive time priced for your exact location before you commit to anything.

Why it matters

What 90 Minutes Tells Us — and You

What we learn

How your home actually runs: the doors, the noise, the routines, the other animals, and the person the dog will work for — in their own space, where the truth lives. It’s how we match a specific dog to your specific household instead of guessing from a form.

What you learn

What a trained service dog feels like on the end of your own leash. You’ll handle the dog, see the tasks up close, and get honest answers face to face — including “this isn’t the right fit” if that’s the truth. We’d rather tell you at your kitchen table than after a contract.
