Of the 55 million people with disabilities in the US, 5% (250,0000) have hearing, sight or an invisable condition that could be helped by using a service dogs, i.e. seizure, PTSD. To date only 20,000 service dog teams are in daily use. There is a huge demand for well-trained service dogs, as shown by the long wait lists from other schools. The people looking for service dogs often spend years following paper trails and sitting on waiting lists only to be denied. Most service dog providers have multiple year waiting lists and restrictive eligibility criteria. This school was created to help fill some that demand and reduce the travel associated with Service Dog training.
