Many people are looking to train a service dog these days. But what does it mean to have a service dog and who qualifies to have one?

Christi Christiansen

I am the co-founder and head trainer for Service Paws. I love my job and I love my clients! I have lived in Layton, UT for 6 years now. My husband and I started Service Paws because we realized I needed a service dog. Unfortunately, we found out really quick that unless we had the money, there was nothing out there to help me train a service dog. This is why we created Service Paws. My life now revolves around my family and the service dog teams and I couldn't ask for a better life!
