CSD Specializes in 3 Types of Service Dogs
Our owner-assisted training programs are designed to meet the needs of each of our clients.

Psychiatric
Designed to assist individuals with psychiatric disabilities, such as PTSD, autism, or depression.

Mobility
For individuals with physical disabilities, such as EDS, fibromyalgia, and chronic pain.

Medical Alert
Specialized training to detect and alert handlers of medical changes, such as blood sugar fluctuations, heart rate irregularities, and other chemical imbalances.

How CSD Works with You
At Coastal Service Dogs, we guide you through every step of the journey to ensure our programs align with your needs and lifestyle. Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Submit Your Application
Start by completing our easy-to-follow online application to share your disabilities and goals.
Step 2: Eligibility Check
We’ll confirm that you meet the program requirements:
- Age: Applicants must be 13 years or older (parent/guardian support is required for those under 18).
- Location: Permanent U.S. residency is required.
- Purpose: You must have a disability that a medical alert, medical response, psychiatric assistance, or mobility service dog can mitigate. (Note: We do not train Guide or Hearing Assistance dogs.)
Step 2a: Dog Evaluation (For Applicants With a Dog)
If you already have a dog, we’ll evaluate it virtually or in person to ensure it’s a good fit for training. However, you must still complete the online application first.
Step 3: Call with Coastal Trainer
Speak directly with a trainer to review your application, ask questions, and discuss your training goals.
Step 4: Review Agreement and Payment Options
We’ll send you a customized agreement along with flexible payment options.
Step 5: Finalize Enrollment
Sign your agreement, complete payment, and get ready to begin your program—or start the puppy search with our Puppy Match Service.
Step 6: Begin Your Journey
Dive into your training program with access to certified trainers, tailored plans, and our resources like the Coastal Learning Hub. Whether you’re focusing on foundational skills or task training, we’ll support you every step of the way.
