About Us

Domino Service Dogs(DSD) assists people with disabilities who are training their own service dog by providing a 2-year owner-trained service dog program. We are located in Lakewood, Colorado. At DSD, we believe that training the handler is as important as training the service dog, so we have developed a program that trains both the service dog and the handler at the same time. Our program uses humane, reward-based training and teaches important dog-handling and caretaking skills. 

We have been helping people to train their own service dogs as a 501c3 nonprofit since 2013, and have graduated dozens of service dog teams. DSD is run BY people with disabilities FOR people with disabilities. We fill a unique niche in Colorado by providing service dog training at an affordable rate. 

DSD is also an important community setting where people who are often isolated can join others with disabilities in gaining new skills and exploring the public in Denver. People with disabilities join us, and together with our dogs, we learn, try, fail, try again, and succeed. We broaden our clients’ worlds by practicing accessing the public with service dogs in training. We are so proud of our clients: they have learned and accomplished amazing feats, and they have made their lives better.
