About this service
All dogs are a long term financial, physical and emotional commitment, and an Assistance Dog even more so. An Assistance Dog ready for placement has spent two years preparing to work for a human partner, and the client will spend only two weeks in a training class to learn everything the dog knows and how to handle and care for their new partner. For those who are willing to commit to the process long term, the rewards are limitless.
