I think you are talking about Pawsibilities Unleashed Pet Therapy of Kentucky, Liz Norris, Frankfort Kentucky - Service dogs, therapy dogs, dog training

If you are, here is a little catch....

"You attend the intensive one-week training course or the regular schedule six-week course. The material covered is the same for each. You are responsible for your food, hotel and related expenses during your stay."

So you have to pay for your hotel stay for the week. In the one above I mentioned, the hotel is included. I also personally don't think a service dog can truely be placed in one week, so the six week program I would highly recommend.

It also is such a new thing, I think mostly in the last 5-7 years that people have taken this near impossible task on and more than 50% of the dogs don't work out.

And lastly, you have to realize you are not getting a pet but a service dog. There's a HUGE difference between the two and the service dog needs to go everywhere with you and not just be used to detect hypos at home. Otherwise it's a waste of the dog's ability.

Diabetes is an Art, NOT a Science. You must master the control by skills and not by knowledge alone.
