What people have asked about this business.

How can I get to you, to train my dog?. We live in Black River New York, far away from your location

Hi Kassidy. If you would like for us to train your dog at our facility, you'll need to bring your dog to us. If that's not possible, another option for you is to be coached online by one of our trainers so that you can learn how to train your own dog. We either have private sessions or group classes available for that. Let me send you a page with information and costs for all those services. Don't hesitate in calling us at 317-991-5400 and we'll be happy to discuss our different options and see if we can help you. https://www.medicalmutts.org/train-your-own-dog

How do I go about getting a servis dog for my blind datter that's legally blind throw the state hear eye sight is getting wors single parint 1 income on ssi and I cant work wear having a hard time with raising money to get a dog

Best is to contact a guide dog organisation. We train service dogs for other disabilities but not the type that your father needs. Most guide dogs are provided free of charge. If you Google Guide Dog, you should have several organizations pop up. Best of luck!

I have great pekingese lab mix would you be able to train him for my asthma and panic attcks he is two mouths old and if so do I need to get him fixed?

He does not need to be fixed in order to be trained, no. And yes, Medical Mutts trains for panic attacks and psychiatric conditions and could probably train a few things like retrieving your inhaler for asthma.

Question on Google
Is there training for Vazovagal Syncope episodes? I am diagnosed with it along with Depression and Anxiety and would like to further myself in obtaining a service dog for these issues.

Hi Daniel, we have trained a dog for Vazovagal Syncope episodes and he is alerting great. That being said, unlike for diabetes or seizures, where we know there is a scent associated to the episodes, we don't have any proof that there is a specific scent associated with this condition. If there is a scent, we also don't know if that's the case for every person. If you do release a scpecific scent before an epidose, then we could definetely train a dog to alert you. If not, then we would be limited to training the dog to react once you have an eposode. If you'd like more information, please call us at 317-992-5400, we'd be happy to answer any question and see how we might be able to help you.

Question on Google
Do u sell ESA lap dogs

We originally wanted an emotional support dog. Training the dog ourselves allowed us to get a service dog for the same price and we can take anywhere. I believe they only supply service dogs fully trained that they aquire but i could be mistaken. Calling them is the easiest way!
