Interested in becoming a trainer?

There is a severe shortage of service dog trainers, creating a critical bottleneck for thousands of individuals awaiting life-changing assistance!

Because this specialized skill set takes years to develop, the supply of certified trainers cannot keep pace with the skyrocketing demand from veterans, individuals with physical disabilities, and those with chronic medical conditions.

To bridge this gap, The D.O.G. Method and Saving Grace Service Dogs have joined forces to create a comprehensive, blended program designed to shape the next generation of professional service dog trainers!
