Canine Solutions for SeniorsSM

 Canine Solutions for Seniors is individualized dog training that starts by asking:

WHAT CAN YOUR DOG DO THAT WILL HELP YOU IN DAILY LIFE? 

 Whether it's picking up something you dropped, helping you pull off your shoes, alerting to an alarm you didn't hear, or simply putting their toys in a basket so you don't trip over them, dogs love having a job to do.  And you will love having your dog make your life safer and easier!

 Based in Annapolis, Maryland, Canine Solutions for Seniors  will come to your home, where you can describe your needs in privacy, ask all the questions you want, and train exactly the tasks that you want your dog to do.
