Who We Serve
We train and place service dogs for individuals with:
- Mobility impairments and physical disabilities
- Psychiatric disabilities (PTSD, anxiety, depression)
- Medical alert needs
- Autism spectrum disorders
- Other disabilities requiring task-trained assistance
Service dogs are working animals trained to perform specific tasks that mitigate your disability. They are not emotional support animals or therapy dogs.

Hundreds of happy clients and well-behaved pups
We have a 2 year old sheepadoodle named Arthur. He was challenging us greatly with his reactivity to other dogs on walks and at our front window. We attended a 6 week reactivity class with Riayaan and he was incredibly helpful in assisting us to change this behaviour. We also left him for 10 days in the structured boarding while on vacation, and they furthur helped to fine tune Arthur's loose leash walking and obedience. What a difference this has made for our entire family! We now have peace and can enjoy our walks again. I highly recommend Noble K9 for any training that you may need assistance with. Whether you have a puppy that needs class time or a dog in need of behaviour modification. Balanced training brings change and results. Thanks so much Riayaan!!!
There are no words to describe my gratitude. I walked in to my first session with a very strong leash pulling reactive dog feeling desperate and as though I had failed my pup. After just the first of 6 sessions i experienced significant change in my pups behavior as well as both of our confidence. After 6 sessions I feel confident in my ability to handle my dog, relieved that she is no longer reactive to everything that a moves or makes noise. We were provided the tools we needed to effectively communicate and I am happy to say I have no concerns taking my dog anywhere. I would undoubtedly recommend this team to anyone. Thank you! You have changed our lives 110% for the better!
Service Dog Training FAQs
How do I get service dog certification in Ontario?
Ontario does not have a single government registry for service dog certification. What matters legally is that the dog is trained to perform specific tasks for a handler's disability and can pass public access testing. Noble K9 provides documentation and public access testing support so you and your dog meet the standard organizations and government bodies expect.
What does K9 service dog training involve?
Training covers foundation obedience on and off-leash, task-specific work tied to your disability, and environmental desensitization to crowds, noise, and other animals. Most dogs go through our board and train program, which runs 8 to 24 weeks depending on the tasks required.
Can I train my own dog to become a service dog?
Yes, in some cases. Your dog needs the right temperament, health, and ability to learn reliable task and public-access skills. We evaluate stability, focus, sound sensitivity, and public manners before starting, since not every dog is suited to service work.
How much does service dog training or a fully trained service dog cost in Ontario?
A fully trained service dog with a handler course generally runs $35k-75k depending on task complexity and training duration. Training your own dog is priced separately after a consultation, since cost depends on the tasks and your dog's starting point.
Do service dogs need to pass public access testing?
Yes. Public access training prepares a service dog to behave appropriately in stores, restaurants, airports, and medical facilities, meeting ADA-aligned standards. This applies to both our fully trained placements and our training program for client-owned dogs. See more on our FAQ page.
What's the difference between a service dog and an emotional support animal?
A service dog is trained to perform specific tasks that mitigate a person's disability, such as mobility assistance or medical alerts. Emotional support animals provide comfort through companionship but aren't trained for task work, so they don't carry the same public access rights.
