About Us
Our Mission: Empower Through Partnership
Raising and training elite working dogs for independence, support, and companionship.
Our Story
Northwest Elite Working Dogs was founded in 2017 in Spokane County, WA — about 30 minutes from downtown Spokane. We were built on one belief: service dogs and therapy dogs deserve world-class, ADI-aligned training, and clients deserve a partner they can trust for life.
Our trainers bring years of experience in advanced obedience, behavior modification, and specialized task work. Every dog completes 600+ hours of structured training. The goal isn’t just a dog that can perform tasks — it’s a confident, reliable partner ready to thrive for life, for families across Spokane County and the greater Inland Northwest.
