The deepest relationship of trust and dependence and commitment is the Service Dog Level of Education. Often times, the very lives of the owners are put into the trust of their service animals. Not all dogs are physically or mentally or emotionally created for this type of commitment, but if you think your dog is, they could serve no higher purpose. These are customized special skill-sets relying on the same basic language but expanded 10 fold! K-9 Finishing School levels of certification are required for consideration into this program which is customarily 2 -12 months and ranges in cost dependent on skill set required from $5,000.00 to $35,000.
