Get to Know Us
Since 2003, Service Dog Project has bred, raised, and donated over 180 certified Great Dane service dogs - completely free of charge - to individuals facing balance and mobility challenges. Every Great Dane in our program is born and raised at our facility, where dedicated staff and volunteers provide round-the-clock care and supervision during the critical first month of life. Our comprehensive training program spans approximately 1.5 years, ensuring each dog masters essential mobility support skills before being carefully matched with a recipient. Once paired, training continues to address the individual's needs and lifestyle. As specialized balance dogs, our Great Danes are trained to provide steady support in harness, adjust their pace to match their handler's gait, and execute controlled halts and braces to help their handler regain footing or stand after a fall.
