Dog Acquisition

The cost of the dog is separate from the training program and is the responsibility of the client.

Our team can assist in selecting an appropriate dog with the temperament and structure necessary for service work.

Monthly Care Reimbursement

During the training process, clients are responsible for monthly reimbursements covering the dog’s care, including:
  • Food
  • Grooming
  • Veterinary care
