TRAINING A DOG TAKES PLACE
FROM EIGHT WEEKS TO TWO YEARS MATURITY
COST: $30,000
Most people in need cannot afford the cost, so Brigadoon Service Dogs became a 501(c)(3) non-profit in 2004 in order to help bridge the financial gap. Civilians pay a third of the cost and veterans never pay.
DOGS: 8 to 16 months -- Live with PRISON PROGRAM inmates 24/7 for daily intermediate level training
using positive reinforcement of praise and nibbles of food.
(Inmates with Denise CoStanten, their instructor -- our Founder and Executive Director.)

DOGS: 16 months to 2 years -- Dogs return to Brigadoon's campus and do advance training. Trainers take the dogs to public places, give them lots of different experiences and teach the dogs specific cues that match up with each client's needs.
Client & Dog Match: 2 weeks TEAM TRAINING -- Teaches client what dog knows and how to handle dog in public places.
Clients end their training during the final days when they pass the Public Access Test.
Client & Dog Relationship: Brigadoon provides ongoing service for as long as the two are together.
