Service dog training typically takes 1.5 to 2 years to complete (up to 2.5 years depending on the case) and includes:

Service dog training involves teaching a dog specific tasks to assist with a handler's disability, alongside training for good behavior in public. This typically takes 1-2 years and includes task training and public access training.
Service dog training generally takes between 1 and 2 years, depending on the complexity of the tasks and the dog's progress.
Service dogs are trained to perform specific tasks such as retrieving items, providing mobility support, alerting to medical changes, and other actions that directly assist the handler with their disability.
Service dogs learn basic obedience commands such as sit, stay, and down, which help maintain control. However, their service tasks related to the disability are not just general commands but specific actions.
The Public Access Test (PAT) is a standard to assess whether a dog is ready to behave properly in public spaces. The dog must be housebroken, calm, and under control, without urinating or defecating in public.
In most countries, an official certificate or vest is not legally required for a service dog. The primary requirement is that the dog is task-trained to mitigate the handler’s disability and demonstrates appropriate, well-controlled behavior in public settings. The handler is responsible for the dog’s training and conduct.
Yes, we train dogs of all ages. However, training older dogs may take more time compared to puppies, as they need more time to adjust and learn new tasks.
