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.

Handi-dogs is a wonderful program that offers a low cost way which allows people to train their own service dog. I helped a family member train a dog and it turned their live around. The service dog has helped them get out of the house and be independent in a way that they never thought would be possible again. I enjoyed the classes and training so much that it was bittersweet when our dog graduated and got it's vest.
