Delete if not allowed, I'm looking specifically for connections and advice on finding a dog to train myself or an organization nationwide who can train for low or no cost. I'm having trouble as mine is needed for cardiac alert... Not many programs do cardiac alert from what I can see. If you're around VA and know of someone in state or that I could drive a state or 2 away to, I'd also be fine with that. Most of the ones I have found also have extremely long wait-lists... Which is why I'm considering owner training. Any tips, advice, online training programs, etc.

Thank you.

ETA : I definitely agree after reading some of these I'd be in over my head and am applying to wait-lists as much as I can for multiple organizations. Thanks for the input, I'm glad I asked about it. Here's to hoping I get a dog sooner rather than later!

Otherwise, would a loan/payment plan be a good idea for this? Has anyone done that?
