Meet a Few of our Available Service Dogs in Training (SDiT)

Service Dog process and info

​
Each of these dogs have been carefully evaluated, selected and raised to become Service Dogs. Each are at their own stages in the training, but they are currently undergoing intensive socialization and training to reach their goals to become Service Dogs! 

Each of these dogs, assuming their training continues successfully and they do not wash out, (meaning: become happy pets!) will be placed with a suitable handler in need of a service dog for whom they are specifically trained. 

We are not a non-profit, as such these dogs will have a cost reflecting the extensive training and socialization put into them-that being said we are happy to work with -and in fact encourage working with- any non-profit that might be able to help cover the costs of the SDiT (or at the time, SD).

If you are interested in possibly getting matched with one of these SDiT or a future SDiT please send an email to info@dogsdowntownva.com and we'll get in touch with information regarding how to move forward- including a required in-person (free) consultation/ discussion.

If there is a SDiT on this page that you are particularly interested in, please let us know, but remember that at the end of the day we will recommend the dog that as professionals we believe will work best for YOUR needs.

Important Cost Considerations

An important consideration in moving forward is knowing how much training a service dog will cost from beginning to end. The following cost projections are only representative of averages. Throughout the training process, we will adjust the amount and types of weekly training to reflect need which may either raise or lower the cost of training. These cost projections do not include the cost of obtaining the dog, caring for the dog, vet bills, equipment costs, etc. 

Find more detailed information on our Cost Projection page.
