Biscuit

“I met James and Lexi by chance at an event and started talking with Lexi about training and service dogs. My 10-year-old son has autism, and we had our 6-month-old puppy, Biscuit, with us. Lexi told me about deep pressure therapy and how dogs can help provide comfort and regulation. I took their card, not thinking much of it at the time, but over the next few weeks I kept noticing how calm and happy my son was with Biscuit. I prayed about it and eventually reached out to James and Lexi for more information.

It turned out they had one spot available. After evaluating Mason and Biscuit, they felt she would be a great fit. Biscuit stayed for an 8-week training program, and Lexi kept us updated with pictures and videos. We were also able to visit and attend lessons, which helped Mason learn the commands and build confidence.

When Biscuit came home, she was polite, focused, and responsive. James and Lexi even came to our house for a lesson and were incredibly thorough. Mason and Biscuit are now a registered service dog team, and we continue working with James and Lexi to strengthen their bond and skills.

Mason can now confidently handle Biscuit in public, and when he’s having a hard moment, he can tell her “pressure,” and she lays across him to help him calm down. It’s amazing to watch.

James and Lexi truly love what they do. They care deeply about both the dogs and the families, and they have gone above and beyond our expectations. We are so grateful for everything they have done for our dog and our son.”
