Owner-Trained Service Dog Program · Psychiatric, Autism, Medical & Mobility

Service Dog Training

There’s no flat sticker price, because no two teams are the same. Your investment is built from where your dog is starting, the tasks you need, and your timeline. Most of the program is priced in coaching sessions at $135 each ($99 through Dec 1, 2026), plus fixed fees - because you do the daily training.

Every type of service dog runs through this same program at these same rates - psychiatric, autism, medical alert and response, or mobility.

ASCT certification is $200/yr.

Typical investment: most owner-trained teams land roughly $4,000–$9,000, billed as a monthly plan over 12–24 months - versus $20,000–$40,000 for a program-placed dog. You get your exact number on a free intake call, before any paperwork. There’s always a path - no handler is turned away for ability to pay alone.
