How to Graduate As a Service Dog Trainer
The Trainer Program is designed for those with a love for dogs and a heart for those with disabilities. Your participation in the Trainer Program helps make a service dog more accessible for someone in need, even if you are that someone in need.
The Trainer Program requires a long-term commitment to the training of 4 service dogs, one for yourself or as a demonstration dog, and three for the community. Through the help of Saving Grace Service Dogs, once you complete our Trainer Program, you are a part of a community of service dog trainers that can help share their knowledge and help others.
