Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
are these trained dogs available to prospective owners who are seniors without great cost?
Hey Susan, thanks for reaching out. We are an owner-train program, which means people train their own dogs with us, alongside our instructors. We are very low cost, and also have scholarships for those who need financial assistance. If you don't have a dog we can help match you with one as well.

No. They provide service dog and general behavior training.

When is the next class for beginners, the cost and is scholarship money available?
Handi-Dogs has classes for the general public . They also have a service dog program. Acceptance into the service dog program is based on several factors. I suggest visiting the web site for more information. Scholarships are only available for the service dog program.

It's an open enrollment setup. Classes are mixed but small. Don't know about scholarships but call them.

Amazing place to certify your dog, along with incredible staff!
Had many questions about getting an emotional support going for a family member. They were able to answer all my questions and point me in the right direction. They were so nice, patient and knowledgeable.

Had an appointment for my dog to undergo an assessment to determine if she had the temperament to be able to the job. Unfortunately she doesn't, but the process was a positive one. My dog wasn't overwhelmed by the assessment even though she wasn't a fan. Glenda & the other trainer did an awesome job explaining everything and explaining the program. When the time is right we will be using their organization to get a service dog for a family member.
