Scholarship – Free Diabetic Alert Dog Training Class

Home → Diabetic Alert → Scholarship – Free Diabetic Alert Dog Training Class

We received a $500 donation from an anonymous donor, which when combined with the $200 in donations we have received over the last year as well as $200 from our own pockets, will allow us to provide a full scholarship to our Diabetic Alert Dog Training Intensive Workshop Class.

Scholarship Requirements:

  • The recipient must have a child, between the ages of 8 and 16, with diabetes (as stipulated by the main donor) for which the dog will be trained for.
  • The dog to be used in the class must be stably temperamented, not aggressive towards dogs or people, food motivated and not have anxiety issues when accessing the public.
  • Your dog must not be Brachycephalic. Its is unknown whether Brachycephalic dogs can do diabetic alerting so we cannot recommend them as Diabetic Alert Dogs. To find out if your dog is Brachycephalic please check the wikipedia page here.
