Monkey Tail Ranch trains and places facility dogs that support thousands of students and community members across Santa Clara and San Benito Counties and beyond.

Monkey Tail Ranch also trains service dogs for individuals and families. These dogs are trained to perform specific tasks that help mitigate the effects of a person’s disability and improve independence and daily functioning.
Service dogs may assist individuals with developmental, neurological, or mental health challenges by providing emotional regulation, grounding, task assistance, and increased confidence in public settings.
Each service dog is carefully matched with its handler to create a successful long term partnership. If your family is interested in becoming part of our service dog program, we invite you to reach out for a phone consultation. If your situation is a good fit, Monkey Tail Ranch will invite you to apply for a service dog. Applications sent in without going through this prerequisite process will not be processed.
