Read through program requirements

Training

Our mandatory training sessions for child clients along with their parent/guardian and their dog, are held once a week for one hour at our Colorado Springs facility or at a location in Denver provided by our trainers.

TIMELINE

Our training program will take, on average, 18 – 24 months. Please assess if this time requirement is something that you and your family are able to commit to. The more committed you are to attending classes and training at home, the better your chances of success. 

DOGS

You do not need to have a dog at the time of applying. Please do not rush out and purchase a dog before you have applied and spoken to one of our team about our puppy acquisition restrictions. Head over to our FAQ page for more information on this topic. 

Already have a dog? The only dogs we are accepting for training at this time are Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers and Standard Poodles under the age of 1 year (a few larger poodle mixes such as Goldendoodles, Labradoodles and Sheepadoodles may be accepted on a case-by-case basis).

Dog Assessments. Before you spend time filling out an application, give our office a call at 719.394.4046 and schedule a dog assessment. Our assessments happen on Mondays at 7pm on a first come, first served basis. Cost is $50 per assessment. 

Worried about the time and stamina it takes to train a puppy? Please fill out our contact form and someone from our office will reach out to discuss possible alternatives.

COST

The current cost for our VictoryKids program is $6,000, with a minimum monthly payment of $250. This does not include the cost of acquiring a puppy. Don’t let this amount scare you! We offer support through fundraising campaigns and resources where you can apply for grants on your own to help cover the cost. We’ll walk with you the whole way.
