HISTORY
Paws For Life USA founded in 2004 established itself as a non-profit organization dedicated to train service, assistance, therapy and facility dogs. They also provided humane education, disaster relief and started an animal rescue program. Over 3,000 dogs have benefited from some form of training to help with perfect placement and adoption. In 2012 they expanded their Service, Therapy and Facility Dog program and have trained over 200 service dogs during this time. Having received numerous requests on how to become a service dog trainer a few members of Paws For Life, USA established American K9 Connection, Inc which was founded in 2018, as a school to provide students with the ability to become Service Dog or Master Dog Trainers.
