This program is for Veterans that have a service-connected disability. The Veteran comes through the program with the use of their own dog and we help the Veteran train their dog to become their service dog at no cost to them. If they do not have a dog, we advocate the use of rescues. The training program takes approximately a year to complete to program certification.

The classes meet one day a week for one hour at the training center located in Gilbert, AZ. We start new classes twice a year, in March and September, (approximately 80 Veterans come through the program a year). We help the Veteran train their dog for their specific needs, medical alert, (such as diabetes, hearing alert, PTSD) mobility, etc.

If you are interested in entering our program, please fill out and submit the following application.
