  • Intense training starts- many hours of outings to learn ADA, public acceptance of service dogs, obedience, dog care etc
  • Many of the outings can be other families
  • The puppy goes back and forth between family and Project Chance
  • We start to focus on the specific needs for the client and their dog tasks  

Rotation- This can be the hardest part for the child. The transition back and forth is a hard lesson but also a great life skill.

9+ Months

5 months - 9 months

9+ Months

  • Longer overnights at the child’s house 
  • Fun and educational outings
  • Mingling with other families 


At 14 months, the puppy usually goes full time placement and we spend an additional year advancing the tasks, obedience and environmental engagements. 


 Project Chance continues to stay connected and involved  as long  as the family needs us. 

What is the process to get started?

Initial Call

During  this call, Project Chance learns about the family structure, number of  children, other pets, work schedules, and the daily routine. At least  one adult must have the flexibility required to properly care for the  puppy.  

In Person Meeting

For  this one-hour session, the family makes a scheduled visit to the Project Chance campus to  meet with a team member. Anyone who interacts with the family on a  regular basis at the home and would be involved with the puppy is  encouraged to attend.

Home Visit

At this appointment, we evaluate the location, size, layout, other pets  and how the house is maintained. If necessary, recommendations are made  to ensure a safe environment for the puppy.

Application

Once  our staff determines that a service dog will benefit your child and the family, we develop a training plan based on the child’s Individualized  Educational Plan (IEP) that outlines the current educational/social/cognitive progress from a clinical or educational institution.

Requirements

  • A  commitment to meet regularly with trainers and other children and dog  teams for social, behavioral and recreational activities.
  • Families must sign a waiver that gives permission for the publication of photos and stories about your child and his or her dog.
  •  As  a regional agency, families should be within driving distance of the  Project Chance training center to facilitate the access to the  numerous required training sessions. Project Chance retains the  flexibility to place dogs outside this area depending on the family’s  individual support services.
