Aspen Service Dogs

A successful service dog isn’t the dog who never notices distractions. It’s the dog who notices them and chooses to stay engaged with their handler.

Celebrating fully trained graduate Mars and his new school community 💛

Mars has joined the faculty at an incredible elementary school that truly embraces and supports the diverse learning needs of its students. We love seeing schools recognize the role dogs can play in supporting learning, emotional regulation, and student wellbeing.

A special thank you to the Nimcan family and Katie & Karie. Your time, care, and dedication helped shape Mars into the wonderful dog he is today.

We’re so proud of this team and can’t wait to see the impact Mars has on the students and staff he meets along the way.

Celebrating owner trained graduate Jolie .the.goldie.sd and her amazing family 💛

This beautiful Golden Retriever, who may secretly be part polar bear, brought such a calm and steady presence to every class.

One thing we’ll definitely miss is watching her fall asleep during cooperative care exercises. Safe to say she was very comfortable with the process!

Congratulations to this wonderful team. We’re so proud of all you’ve accomplished together.

What makes an Aspen dog different?

No two people are the same, and no two dogs are either.

We believe great partnerships come from individualized training, thoughtful matching, and recognizing the unique strengths each dog brings to the table.

Because the goal isn’t just a well-trained dog. It’s the right dog.

A trip to the dentist for Sprout with his puppy raiser

Behind every great service dog are amazing raisers. Real-world outings like this help these pups learn to stay calm, thoughtful, and adaptable in all kinds of environments.
