At K-9s for Freedom, our mission is rooted in compassion, support, and empowerment. We recognize that not every individual seeking service dog training qualifies for our specialized programs. However, we believe that everyone should have access to quality training and support for their dogs, regardless of their circumstances. That's why we offer non-qualifying service dog training and obedience training at an affordable rate of $25 per hour, a cost that will remain consistent and unwavering.

The Reason Behind the Price:

Our decision to set the training fee at $25 per hour is driven by our dedication to creating a positive impact within our community. We understand that cost can be a barrier for many individuals, especially those who are already facing financial challenges. By offering affordable training options, we aim to provide essential guidance and resources that might otherwise be out of reach for some.

Sustaining Support for All:

What sets our approach apart is that the entirety of the fees collected from non-qualifying service dog training and obedience training is directly channeled to support those who cannot afford to have a service dog trained. This unique model ensures that those who may be in dire need of a service dog are not denied the opportunity due to financial constraints. Your payment directly contributes to transforming lives and enabling meaningful partnerships between individuals and their canine companions.

Our Promise:

We are committed to maintaining the $25 per hour rate for non-qualifying service dog training and obedience training, and we assure you that this price will never change. Our goal is to make a lasting impact on both dogs and humans alike, fostering a sense of community, empowerment, and understanding.
