FOUNDERS 
WELCOME

Good Dog! Autism Companions, now Good Dog! Service Canines, is the natural result of our family's journey with autism. Like so many families with ASD children, we have explored numerous therapies and modalities in our attempt to find just the right combination to unlock and unleash the beauty living within our son, Elliot. Our journey led us to getting a service dog for him. The decision has delivered on all we had hoped for and so much more.  Elliot's service dog, Orbit, actually unleashed our entire family. The lessons we've learned in acceptance, unconditional love and deeper understanding are life changing. It's with great joy that we now share our experience and our teams’ expertise in service dog relationships. The results we are seeing through our programs across the country have been life-changing for all of us involved. We are truly blessed to be serving those in our community.

We are so grateful to all of you who have helped support our vision and our programs! Thank You!
