We would love to talk with you about Deputy Dog!
The most important component in the success of our program is you.
The ideal student will be a highly motivated person with the commitment and time to be successful. You must understand the entire process - training, lectures and homework. Health, family support and temperament are all important.
Please fill out the application below and we will contact you as soon as possible.
You will observe a class, followed by an in-home interview. Matching you with an appropriate dog for service will be the first option. If you already have a dog that may be well-suited for service work, your dog/relationship will be evaluated during additional interviews.
YOUR COMMITMENT
