Training takes up to nine months and costs $23,000. Service Dogs doesn't charge its clients but relies on private donations and foundation grants.
Unfortunately the diabetes community has been a victim of people who participate in a business model where the clients pay for the training. If you are considering such a program, RUN, do not walk away.
This is a really good program and the CORRECT BUSINESS MODEL for service dogs.
