Service Dog Program

Please Note: Nexus K9 LLC does not offer service dog training for dogs already owned by clients. All of the service dogs in our program are owned by Nexus K9 and are raised and trained by our team from an early age. Our program is designed around carefully selected puppies that are brought up within our system to meet the highest standards for service work.

At Nexus K9 Training, we specialize in transforming lives through our exceptional service dog training program. Our expertly trained service dogs are tailored to meet the diverse needs of individuals requiring assistance with conditions such as POTS, gluten detection, mobility challenges, autism, and more. 
 
With a commitment to excellence, we ensure that each dog undergoes rigorous training and health testing to become a reliable and invaluable companion.

We believe in the profound impact a well-trained service dog can have on a person’s quality of life. 

Our program focuses on training dogs to perform a variety of essential tasks, from scent alerts for medical conditions to providing physical support and behavioral intervention. 

We utilize the best breeds, including Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Australian Labradoodles, and Standard Poodles, all carefully selected and health tested. Contact us today to discover how a Nexus K9 service dog can bring unparalleled support and independence to your life.

Client of Nexus K9

Words cannot express how grateful we are to have found Kristie at Nexus K9! Prior to picking up our new lab puppy, I began researching trainers in the Savannah area, but none of them felt right for what we were actually looking for. I came across Nexus K9 and after looking over her website and speaking with her on the phone, I knew 1000% she was the perfect pick for our family! ... I cannot say enough positive things about Nexus K9! Our family trusted Kristie to help us train a dog that could be trusted and enjoyed in any environment, and she produced! Hands down, 10/10 recommend Nexus K9 for any and all training needs!!

Kristi at Nexus K9 is by far one of the best dog trainers around! She is very responsive when scheduling the initial appointment, does a VERY good job with training and making sure that her clients dogs are well taken care of. Would definitely visit Nexus K9 again for future dogs.

Client of Nexus K9
At Nexus K9 they are very professional. They took our 5 month German shepherd who was inattentive and over stimulated all the time and helped him to learn to calm down as well as teaching us the tools we need to have a successful happy k9. Now the family can go on walks with our pup without explosive behavior. Thank you Nexus K9!!
