Booking Nationwide Trips for August

Stop guessing. Start healing.

Most homeowners come to us after traditional inspections found nothing — and they were still sick. The problem: mold often hides behind perfect-looking walls, and air samples only catch spores that happen to be airborne at time of testing. A trained detection dog finds the source by scent — even behind walls. Minneapolis-based, nationwide travel.

Does any of this sound familiar?

The symptoms people report — long before they find the mold.

When the fog won't lift and your sharpness feels gone.

  • Brain fog
  • Headaches & migraines
  • Memory lapses & forgetfulness
  • Trouble concentrating
  • Difficulty finding words
  • Dizziness or vertigo
  • Numbness & tingling
  • Sensitivity to light & sound
  • Anxiety or low mood
  • Trouble sleeping
  • …and more

The cough, congestion, and "colds" that never fully clear.

  • Persistent cough
  • Wheezing or shortness of breath
  • Chronic congestion
  • Sinus pressure & postnasal drip
  • Frequent sinus infections
  • Sore or scratchy throat
  • New or worsening asthma
  • Itchy, watery eyes
  • Sneezing
  • Worse symptoms indoors
  • …and more

The exhaustion and "off" feeling that rest doesn't fix.

  • Deep, unshakable fatigue
  • Feel better when you leave home
  • Unrefreshing sleep
  • Mood swings & irritability
  • Getting sick often
  • Night sweats & temperature swings
  • Increased thirst
  • Appetite or weight changes
  • Static "shocks"
  • Metallic taste
  • …and more

Aches that get written off as "just getting older."

  • Joint pain & stiffness
  • Muscle aches
  • Morning stiffness
  • Muscle cramps or spasms
  • Muscle weakness
  • General inflammation
  • Reduced range of motion
  • Joint swelling
  • Persistent low-grade pain
  • …and more

Symptoms like these have many possible causes. But if yours ease when you're away from home and return when you're back, a hidden mold source is worth ruling out.

Dogs On Mold provides canine mold detection — not medical diagnosis or treatment. The above reflects symptoms commonly reported in connection with mold exposure and is shared for educational purposes only; it is not medical advice. If you're experiencing health concerns, please consult a qualified healthcare provider.

A few years ago, I was the one who was sick.

I lived it. That's why I built this.

It started as a migraine that wouldn't quit. Then came more symptoms, and more, until they were debilitating. Many providers and even urgent care visits — and no one could find anything wrong from standard examination or blood tests.

A friend brought up potential long-term mold exposure from my home. Elevated levels were found — the problem wasn't in my head, it was in my home.

Over three years, it cost me more than $50,000 — testing, remediation, and clawing my health back. I went on leave from work. I moved out. I went through remediation, and turned to functional health to start rebuilding what the mold had taken. Recovery was slow. But piece by piece, I got my life back.

I'm still healing — and I'm honest about that. What I'm not is in the dark anymore. That experience turned me into an advocate against the moldy homes and workplaces quietly making people sick, and convinced me of one thing: when mold is hidden and hard to find, a trained dog is the best answer there is.

Dogs On Mold exists so you don't have to lose what I lost along my journey. If you're sick and no one can explain why — or you just want to know what's really in your walls — this is for you.

How we work

Five disciplines, one honest answer.

Most inspectors do one thing. We layer five — because mold doesn't show up in just one way, and you deserve to know it everywhere it lives.

Ben

Founder & Certified Handler

I came to this work the hard way — as the sick guy no one could diagnose. Now I run every inspection myself, handle Winnie in the field, and stay with clients long after the report is done. I don't hand you off to anyone — the restoration of your space is my priority.

Winnie

Lead Detection Dog · Labrador Retriever

Trained at Ironheart, one of the most respected working-dog programs in the country — the same lineage behind 35+ years and hundreds of police K9s trained for drugs, explosives, and mold detection. On the clock, she's all business. Off the clock, she'll turn anything into a game of hide-and-seek — especially if her Kong is involved.

What you get

Every inspection includes

  • A full canine sweep with Winnie, handler-read in real time.
  • Building-science assessment of moisture sources and problem areas.
  • Confirmation with inspection light and moisture metering — optional air/swab sampling on request.
  • A same-day verbal walkthrough of what we found, plus a written report with photos within 48 hours — what we found, where, and whether it's active.
  • A vetted referral and briefing: we connect you with a trusted hygienist and a remediator who meets our standards, and make sure you understand your report before those conversations.
All-inclusive pricing

No hidden fees. You'll know your full price before we book.

Mold cost me more than $50,000 over three years — because no one found it early. An inspection is a fraction of that, and the cheapest step you'll take in this whole process.
