About Rolling Meadows Academy of Dog Training

Rolling Meadows Academy of Dog Training works from Bingham Industrial Drive in Denton and has a business shape most local trainers do not: its main product is a finished adult dog rather than a course of lessons. The site states the academy was founded by Barbara Simpson and her late husband Allen Simpson in 1995 and that it has trained over 8,000 dogs in more than thirty years.

The adult trained dog program

The academy sources adult dogs, evaluates their temperament and potential, and trains them for the household they are matched to. The published program tiers are Elite Family Companions, Therapy Dogs, and Service Dogs, the last described as receiving "specialized task training tailored to the client's disability-related needs". Available dogs are listed individually on the site with breed and temperament notes.

Training your own dog

Alongside the placement work the site advertises "a limited number of elite obedience training opportunities for clients and their own dogs" and a local board and train program. That is the route for an owner who already has the dog.

Background

The about page says that during the company's first decade Allen and Barbara trained K9 and protection dogs for police forces nationwide. That is described as past work and is not on the current service menu.
