Our Training Approach

Michigan Therapy Dogs is a leader in Emotional Support, Social Emotional Learning, Therapy, & Service Dog Training across Michigan. Preparing dogs for roles that require precision, reliability, and emotional intelligence. Families and individuals throughout Genesee County and beyond turn to our team when they need a dog trained to meet specific support needs. Whether you're seeking an Emotional Support Animal, Service Dog, Diabetic Dog, Hospice Support Dog, or Cerebral Palsy Dog, the foundation is the same: deliberate, structured training in an environment built for success.

You'll work within a 13,000 square foot facility on 20 acres in Goodrich, where every space is designed to support focused learning and behavioral development. Your dog moves through controlled group work, specialized training environments, and scenario-based sessions that mirror real-world conditions. This isn't a one-size-fits-all approach—it's a calibrated process that adapts to the role your dog will fill.

What sets this program apart is the depth of experience behind it. With more than 30 years of hands-on training across multiple service dog disciplines, Fred Saber brings both technical skill and practical insight to every session. You're not just enrolling in a course—you're partnering with professionals who understand what it takes to shape a dog into a dependable, life-changing companion.
