We look for dogs between the age of 6 month and 1.5 years. It takes 6 months to 1 year to train each dog.

1-1.5 years

how long does it take to train a fully certified service dog?

Check out the video, "Puppies Trained to Help Children with Special Needs" on the Project2Heal channel. It is an amazing story for a great cause!

This is excellent work with dogs.

The dogs are all from animal shelters and rescues. We take them into our program at around 7months to 2 years of age. They are all dogs there were either strays in the community of dogs that someone never took the time to train- so they ended up back at the shelter. Any dog can learn new skills!

@GivingIndependence Can you really start training at 2 yrs. of age? I thought they should be working by then.

There are some really cute pups in there. And they all have very good skills.
