What makes us different??
​
In contrast to many other trainers and service dog organizations focusing solely on veterans, we specialize in training service dogs to assist individuals with non-combat-related traumas, mental illnesses, disabilities, and other challenges. As certified AKC evaluators, we offer a comprehensive range of training programs, including the Canine Good Citizen Programs, Puppy Star Program, Virtual Home Manners titles, and various Trick Dog titles for your dog's development. Additionally, Black Pirate Pup Co. actively collaborates with local fire rescues, police, and SWAT canine departments to provide essential K9 CPR, first aid, and trauma classes. Our mission extends beyond training; we are dedicated to educating all working canine handlers on proper care techniques to minimize casualties in their respective fields.
